The energetic woodcuts that illustrate each of the stories are the work of Jean-Baptiste Vettiner (1871-1935), a French artist and engraver who studied at the École des beaux-arts de Bordeaux, moved to Paris and became active in the early 1920s in the Société de la gravure sur bois originale (Authentic Woodblock Engraving Society).
