Danish illustrator and designer Kay Nielsen 1886-1957 "was drawn early on to fairy tales and illustrated many volumes for Hodder & Stoughton: In Powder and Crinoline 1913 East of the Sun West of the Moon 1914 Hans Andersen's Fairy Tales drawings completed in 1912 but first published in 1924 Hansel and Gretel 1925 and Red Magic Jonathan Cape 1930 a collections of fairy tales from around the world. Nielsen's designs unite strong linearity with delicate colouring. Characterized by a sense of two-dimensional flatness Nielsen's objects and people are highly stylized: foxglove blossoms hang in measured asymmetry; princes and princesses stand on improbably long legs; and their garments billow in gravity-defying parabolas. The power of his illustrations lies in his uncanny ability to retrieve a story's emotional effect on its reader and to recreate it visually in two dimensions" The Oxford Companion to Fairy Tales. London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1924 unknown books
