The Golden Goose Book

he Golden Goose book is an illustrated collection of fairy tales written and illustrated by the British illustrator Leonard Leslie Brooke, remembered for his witty illustrations

This is a charming book full of the most gorgeous illustrations. We see a number of stories in which kindness is rewarded and selfishness is punished but Brooke squeezes a number of intriguing and quite bizarre twists and turns into the story so it is not nearly so predictable as you might imagine. Victorian moral fairy tales from a delightfully inventive mind.
