The famous British illustrator Harry G. Theaker (1873-1954) was a prolific artist who created illustrations for works such as *The Water-Babies*, *Alice's Adventures in Wonderland*, *Norse Legends*, *Old English Tales*, *King Arthur and His Knights*, *One Thousand and One Nights* (*Arabian Nights*), *Long, Long Ago*, *Bible Stories*, and *Don Quixote*. While Harry G. Theaker's illustrations may not possess the ethereal, fairy-like quality of Arthur Rackham's work, they feature warm and vibrant colors that convey more earthly passion and vitality. This makes his style particularly suitable for capturing the Arabian atmosphere, knightly romances, and the Spanish-inspired fantasies of *Don Quixote*.
