Olde England of Edmund Dulac
The American Weekly Illustrations
The two series featured here are Seven Tales from King Arthur’s Court from 1940 and 8 Canterbury Tales from 1942, both produced during the Second World War. The format was different from the previous series, each illustration was in a square frame and accompanied by text from American author and educator John Erskine. Unfortunately, the stories are too long to reproduce here, but can be found in our other publications. The captions herein are summaries of the Erskine stories and Wikipedia entries.
