Summary

"Once Upon a Time reawakens the joys of childhood reading - of seeing a story come alive in words and pictures, both on the printed page and in our nascent imaginations. Drawing upon the outstanding collection of Victorian-era children's books amassed by Ellen Liman and her late husband, Arthur, this book presents over three hundred irresistible images. In her text Amy Weinstein retells the timeless tales they illustrate and reveals their deep relevance to readers of yesterday and today."--BOOK JACKET.
