Mabel Lucie Attwell is perhaps best known for her drawings of chubby-cheeked children in the Lucie Attwell annuals. But before this she worked on various commissions for the publisher Raphael Tuck giving her distinctive twist on classic children's fairy stories as part of the "Raphael House Library of Gift Books", these included Alice in Wonderland, The Water Babies, Grimm's Fairy Tales and Hans Andersen's Fairy Tales. These books are very collectable, but increasingly difficult to find in nice condition.
