Description from the seller

"Peer Gynt" by Hendrik Ibsen and illustrated by Arthur Rackham

George Harrap, London - 1936, first UK edition - 255p, 25cmx20cm - 12 colored plates (incl frontispiece) - condition: a good copy, original orange boards with some rubbing and soiling to spine, some page wrinlinng, complete with all plates by Rackham.

Ibsen believed Per Gynt, the Norwegian fairy tale on which the play is loosely based, to be rooted in fact, and several of the characters are modelled after Ibsen's own family, notably his parents Knud Ibsen and Marichen Altenburg. He was also generally inspired by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen's collection of Norwegian fairy tales, published in 1845 (Huldre-Eventyr og Folkesagn).
