Rice. Each tale is paired with a full-page artwork executed in a combination of Rice&rsquo;s signature oil pastels and pressed flowers and plants.&nbsp;This pairing of fairy tales and botanicals is a natural and brilliant one, for fairy tales abound with floral and botanical imagery, rich with metaphor and bridging the natural and the supernatural. Some of the flowers and plants in Rice&rsquo;s illustrations are chosen for their literal presence in the tale&mdash;such as juniper, rampion, and rose&mdash;while others represent emotions or symbolic transformations within the story: fennel for clarity and protection, nettles for endurance and pain, clover for luck. <br \/>\n<strong><em>Fairy Tales<\/em><\/strong> honours its literary heritage by returning to the old-world magic of shared tales, handcraft, and the simple ritual of pressing flowers between pages. Handsomely bound in real cloth, with foil stamping and a tip-on, this book will enchant all lovers of fairy tales, botanical art, and the natural world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A magical garden of classic fairy tales, brought to life by illustrations that combine oil pastel with pressed botanicals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":84059,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5840],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-84058","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-childrens-books","author-illustrated-by-john-a-rice","publisher-abbeville-press","first","instock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Fairy Tales - ACC Art Books UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Title: Fairy Tales, Pages: 256 Pages, Publish Date: 12th Apr 2027, Author: Illustrated by John A.
