Norse Fairy Tales Selected And Adapted From The Translations By Sir George Webbe Dasent KNOWLES, Horace; KNOWLES, Reginald L. His second published book, like the first, is a collaboration with his older brother. The colour plates are by Reginald, with the exception of the colour plate illustrated opposite, which is a joint collaboration between the broth- ers. Line drawings mainly signed by the relevant artist. In total there are 25 fairy tales, including The Billy Goats Gruff and East of the Sun and West of the Moon . The success of this book, along with that of Legends From Fairyland gave Horace the confidence to leave his job at the firm of engineers and take up illustration as a full-time occupation. 12.
