Horace John Knowles ( 22 July 1884 – 21 August 1954 ) was an author and illustrator. He is remembered mostly for magical depictions of Fairyland in his magnum opus Peeps into Fairyland,[1] as well as for his biblical illustrations. For his first two published books, Legends from Fairyland (1908)[2] and Norse Fairy Tales (1910),[3] he collaborated with his brother Reginald L. Knowles.
Knowles' style, similar to that of his brother, has often been described as Art Nouveau.[citation needed]
