The model for the Genie in this illustration Kamerieli Sikuri Murray, has also signed his name below the same plate. This edition is profusely illustrated in colour by the Canadian artist and illustrator Charles Van Sandwyk, who created new illustrations for this title, including 16 full page colour plates and dozens of partial page line drawings. There is a new introduction by the author Joan Aiken. This is the first in the 13-volume series of newly illustrated 'Coloured Fairy Books' by the Folio Society. The first printing sold out almost immediately but was quickly reprinted. This 'Blue' volume contains fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm, Madame d'Aulnoy, Arabian Nights, and Norwegian folktales. Arguably, it contains some of the best known fairy tales, such as 'Little Red Riding Hood', 'The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood', 'Cinderella', 'Aladdin', 'Beauty and the Beast', 'Hansel and Gretel', and more.
