The genius of the young artist who has illustrated this book may be left to speak for itself, as it assuredly will: but I would say a word about the title, which is also of his invention. When Messrs. Hodder and Stoughton told me that Mr. Kay Nielsen wished to employ his pencil upon a volume of Fairy Tales, to be called In Powder and Crinoline, I answered that the title and the notion it conveyed were, in my opinion, capital; that no-one with forty-one volumes of the Cabinet des Fées on his shelves (to name that collection alone) ought to find any difficulty with Powder save the pleasant difficulty of choosing; but that if anyone knew where to find in the age of Crinoline a stock of such tales as we wanted I should be obliged by the information. There was no doubt they ought to exist, but I doubted very much if they did. -- Preface.

Alfred David and Mary Elizabeth Meek have compiled a collection of fairy tales that ranges from the Grimm brothers' inimitable recreations of archetypal folktales to the modern prose charm of James Thurber's Many Moons. The appeal of the stories is wide and varied: the refined intelligence of Perrault, the wondrous imagination of Andersen, the descriptive power of Ruskin, the bittersweet melancholy of Wilde. These are but a few of the artists represented in this remarkably inclusive selection of works from Germany, Russia, France, Scandinavia, England, and America. Many are in new translations in the modern idiom and all testify eloquently to the unceasing vitality of this literary genre.

This is an invaluable treatise on corsets and crinoline. Popular mainly in the 1800s, the corset is a woman's tightly fitting undergarment worn to shape the figure, and the crinoline is a stiff petticoat used to hold out a woman's skirt. This work presents the history of these pieces of clothing, their construction, use, and their impact on shaping the body. In addition, the writer aimed to provide the readers with all the essential information about the harm corsets can cause to women's bodies as they mold their waist and restrict their moment for as long as they're wearing them. This work talks about how one can acquire the desirable without causing any injury to the health.
