Published in 1915 to raise money for the French Red Cross, this gathering of stories travels from China with the wonderful bird Feng to Persia with Layla and Majnún, through Andersen’s nightingale, Sindbad’s voyages, Cinderella and an old French song of Young Rousselle. Each piece was chosen to accompany one of Dulac’s jewel-like colour plates.
