For adults, it's a lyric and sensual allegory of temptation, sacrifice, and salvation. Arthur Rackham, a peerless illustrator of fairy tales and supernatural creatures, portrays the poem's otherworldly attractions on four color and twenty black-and-white images. This edition also features a reproduction of a rare Rackham watercolor, originally remarqued into a first edition copy.
