"Sprite and Monster" is an evocative illustration created by the renowned British artist Arthur Rackham for the 1909 edition of "Tales from Shakespeare" by Charles and Mary Lamb. This collection aimed to make the works of William Shakespeare accessible to younger audiences by retelling his plays in prose form. Rackham's illustrations are celebrated for their intricate detail, imaginative composition, and ability to capture the essence of Shakespeare's timeless stories.

Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) was a prominent figure in the Golden Age of British book illustration, known for his distinctive style that combined elements of fantasy and realism. His work on "Tales from Shakespeare" is particularly notable for its ability to bring the characters and scenes of Shakespeare's plays to life in a way that is both enchanting and accessible. Rackham's illustrations often feature ethereal landscapes, whimsical creatures, and a masterful use of light and shadow, which contribute to the magical atmosphere of the stories.

The illustration "Sprite and Monster" is a prime example of Rackham's talent for visual storytelling. It depicts a scene filled with dynamic tension and otherworldly charm, likely drawing from one of Shakespeare's plays that features supernatural elements, such as "A Midsummer Night's Dream" or "The Tempest." The sprite, a delicate and ethereal being, contrasts sharply with the monstrous figure, creating a visual narrative that captures the viewer's imagination and invites them into the fantastical world of Shakespeare's creation.

Rackham's work on "Tales from Shakespeare" has been praised for its ability to engage readers of all ages, making the complex themes and rich language of Shakespeare's plays more approachable. His illustrations not only complement the Lambs' prose but also stand as works of art in their own right, continuing to inspire and captivate audiences more than a century after their creation.
