Hardcover. Condizione: Sehr gut. Schutzumschlag. 1. Auflage. First edition, first impression of this finely illustrated volume from the celebrated Oxford Myths and Legends Series. Presenting a selection of traditional Japanese stories retold by Helen and William McAlpine, the book forms part of a distinguished mid-century series that introduced readers to mythic traditions from across the world, and it is particularly notable for the work of Joan Kiddell-Monroe, whose contributions to the series are widely regarded as among the most memorable examples of twentieth-century folk-tale illustration. Kiddell-Monroe, an award-winning and remarkably versatile illustrator, employed a range of techniques - including scraperboard, pen, ink, and wash - to produce images of striking clarity and decorative elegance. Her compositions combine fluid linework with rhythmic patterning, creating scenes that evoke both the narrative drama and the stylized aesthetic associated with Japanese visual culture. The result is a sequence of illustrations that complement the tales' atmosphere of folklore, legend, and transformation while maintaining the artist's distinctive graphic voice. Peppin & Micklethwait, pp. 172-173. Large octavo (22.2 x 14.0 cm). Text in English. Colour frontispiece and numerous illustrations by Kiddell‑Monroe. Publisher's Prussian blue cloth, lightly rubbed at extremities with minor bumps and a few pale marks. Contents lightly foxed in places, illustrations bright. Dust jacket complete and unusually fresh, with slight spine darkening and minimal wear. A very good copy.…
