Read on for more information about the book and/or author. According to Bob Speel's art history website, Stratton's illustrations (produced between 1891 and 1925) "tend to the romantic, and in some cases show a Pre-Raphaelite influence, most especially in the manner of Arthur Hughes. In other pictures, Stratton uses swirling hair and cloaks to give a satisfyingly art nouveau style."
