This book is great if you want a vague introduction to the artwork of Warwick Goble, one of the illustrators of the Golden Age of book illustration. I say vague because, like so many Dover reprints of color plates, the colors are rather more greenish or grayish than the originals. I have some other reproductions of Goble pictures in other, more expensive collections of pictures and the colors are off. Still, this could motivate you to find some of your favorite Goble pictures in more expensive, and therefore higher quality, productions.
