The Chicken Market and Other Fairy Tales is an 1877 London and New York collection of fairy tales edited by Henry Morley, with woodcut illustrations by Charles H. Bennett for a family readership. The four pictures are small black-and-white wood engravings with dense hatching, showing grotesque character heads and figures in period costume that suggest strong caricature and expressive line work for storybook or satirical design.
