Ende der 1910er-Jahre legte der dänische Illustrator Kay Nielsen letzte Hand an seine Illustrationen zu Tausendundeine Nacht. Seine Bilder gelten heute als Meisterwerke der Jugendstilillustration: Sie bersten vor satten Blau- und Rottönen und Blattgold, und sie beschwören den ganzen Zauber dieser legendären Sammlung persischer Volksmärchen herauf, die zwischen dem 8. und 13. Jahrhundert zusammengetragen wurden. Aufgrund finanzieller Engpässe in den Nachkriegsjahren nahm der Verlag dann aber Abstand von diesem Projekt, und die atemberaubenden Bilder in Tusche und Wasserfarben zu diesem Klassiker des Weltkulturerbes blieben zunächst vierzig Jahre lang unter Verschluss. Die Illustrationen, die nur ein einziges Mal in einem längst vergriffenen Buch veröffentlicht worden waren, wurden erst kurz vor Nielsens Tod 1957 der Vergessenheit entrissen und befinden sich heute in der Grunwald Center Collection im Hammer Museum von Los Angeles sowie in zwei Privatsammlungen. Unsere Publikation ist eine einzigartige Zusammenstellung von Kunstdrucken und bestechend schönen Illustrationen, direkt von Nielsens Original-Aquarellen reproduziert - dem einzigen noch vollständig erhaltenen Satz. Das Buch enthält Beschreibungen aller Bilder und drei illustrierte Essays zur Entstehung der Serie, zum Ursprung von Nielsens einmaliger Bildwelt und zur Geschichte der Erzählungen. Zusätzlich enthält es viele unveröffentlichte oder nur selten zu sehende Illustrationen sowie komplexe Schwarz-Weiß-Zeichnungen, die Nielsen einst für die ursprüngliche Publikation vorgesehen hatte.

Good book for children, an abundance of information
Format: Paperback
This book is ideally for children who will be traveling to London. It's very packed with information and places to visit, almost to an overwhelming way. The book starts with a fill-in section for children to fill out who's traveling and how they're getting there. It follows with some information and history of London, including a mention of Hamleys Toy Store (I wished they had put more about Hamley's in there -- it's one of the largest toy stores in the world!). It delves into how you could get around in London-- by Bus, Tube or Taxis. It continues with the array of tourist attractions that you can visit in London, starting with Buckingham Palace. The list includes the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, the Gherkin, the House of Parliament, and Trafalgar Square. It mentions the numerous theme parks, zoos and aquarium that you could visit. For children that enjoy a real scare, the book mentions the London Gundeon and London Bridge Experience, which could actually be too scary for children (there are actors there with mock-chainsaws that chase you!). Towers the end, it informs you about the London Eye -- essentially, a large version of a Ferris Wheel. I would say that this should go towards the beginning of the book because it should be one of the first things done to better see where everything lays out in the city. The book mentions shopping spots, including Oxford Street, Bond Street, Knightsbridge, Covent Garden, Carnaby Street, and Piccadilly. I had wished they mentioned the Camden Markets -- where there is great street food and you can bargain for your souvenirs. Camden was an essential part to my shopping list. The book also mentions the numerous museums and theaters that London have. It's impossible to mention all of them, but it hits the children-focused ones. The book tries to involve the children in the abundance of information it has. Like I said, it's almost overwhelming, but London itself is quite overwhelming. There's no way to be able to inform anyone of London without this much information, so this book is manageable and great for children. They could have focused a bit more on some items, but then they'd leave out other items. It did a good job trying to level out the fight of quantity vs quality amongst the tourist attractions mentioned. *** I have received this item at a discounted rate for my honest, detailed review. ***
