Illustrated by Arthur Rackham (illustratore). Rackham brings to life the final two stories from 'The Ring of the Niblung' , Wagner's epic opera cycle known as his 'Ring cycle' and based upon characters from the Norse sagas and the Germanic 'Nibelungenlied'. Now well-established in his career, Rackham chose to take on a number of darker and more sinister book illustrations, which he believed might be less appealing to children. However, C. S. Lewis, who encountered the book as a child, later said of it, '[his] pictures, which seemed to me then to be the very music made visible, plunged me a few fathoms deeper into my delight. I have seldom coveted anything as I coveted that book' (Hamilton, pp. 99 - 101). Presentation copy (stamped into ttitle page) of the trade edition with the additional illustrated endpapers (Latimore and Haskell, pp. 37-38) and 30 full page colour plates mounted on tan paper, pp. x, 182. Bound in brown buckram with gilt pictorial stamping and titles to title page and spine, blind stamped publisers logo to rear board. 25.5 x 19 cm. Some wear to boards (particularly to the right hand side of the design on the front board), spine ends gently bumped, a little foxed, signs of weakness in the binding in the first section, however it feels firm, plates all present and clean (one misbound to face p. 18 instead of p.22), very good condition.
