Charles James Folkard (1878 - 1963) was a famous British illustrator. Charles was a prolific illustrator, known for his works such as "One Thousand and One Nights," "Grimm's Fairy Tales," "The Adventures of Pinocchio," and "Aesop's Fables." Charles' illustrations are rich in color, with characters that range from天真 and childlike, to beautiful and gentle, to humorous and adorable. His work exhibits both the delicate beauty characteristic of the British style, as well as a unique vitality that is distinctly his own. The beauties he painted were far more attractive than the male characters he depicted.
