Demonstrating the strength of love over evil, this fantasy fable is a classic children's story and has been brought to life by Arthur Rackham's illustrations.

First written in 1841, John Ruskin penned this classic Victorian tale for young Effie Gray. The thrilling adventure story is a triumph of English literature. An epic saga with many twists and turns, The King of the Golden River offers explanations for natural parts of life and encourages children to be curious and inquisitive. Arthur Rackham produced beautiful illustrations for the fairy tale in 1932, and his artwork is featured in this edition.
