Book Description
Born in 1882 John Albert Bauer was a Swedish painter and illustrator. He studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts and in 1904 he illustrated his first book, 'Lappland'. He is best known for his illustrations in early editions of 'Bland tomtar och troll' (Among Gnomes and Trolls), featuring stories of Swedish folklore and fairy tales. Bauer's troll illustrations were of a grotesque style but with a touch of humour, appealing to both children and adults alike. Most of his works are watercolours usually in muted colours over pen and ink line work. This enchanting compilation features 83 of Bauer's best works mostly from various editions of 'Bland tomtar och troll'. This superb collection is certain to delight lovers of fairy tale illustration and also Bauer admirers.
