Warwick Goble

British, 1862–1943

Warwick Goble (1862–1943) è stato un illustratore inglese celebrato per le sue delicate illustrazioni ad acquerello di fiabe e folklore da tutto il mondo. È ricordato soprattutto per le sue interpretazioni sensibili di racconti giapponesi, indiani e bengalesi — Green Willow and Other Japanese Fairy Tales, Folk-Tales of Bengal e Indian Myth and Legend — così come per la poesia delle fate inglese e il Pentamerone italiano. Il suo stile luminoso e decorativo, plasmato dalla stampa su legno giapponese, lo ha reso una delle voci distintive dell'età d'oro dell'illustrazione.
