<p>Between 1865-1875, Walter Crane designed for Warner and Routledge a tremendously successful series of fifty illustrated 'Toy Books' sold for one penny each, due to their large print runs. The present edition gathers in a clean and elegant layout eight of the original stories as they were drawn by Crane, fully restored and enhanced: 'The Three Bears', 'Cinderella', 'Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves', 'Little Red Riding Hood', 'Valentine and Orson', 'The Sleeping Beauty', 'Bluebeard' and &bdquo;Puss in Boots'.</p>
