Castle’. A wonderful anthology, this ‘Book of Games’ is sure to
delight both children and parents, with its fun amusements, and
beautiful illustrations.Kate Greenaway (1846 – 1901), was a
children’s book illustrator and writer, and remains one of the most
popular illustrators of all time. Edmund Evans produced her first
book, Under the Window, in 1879, which was an instant best-seller and
cemented her pre-eminent position. Her charming children in quaint
costumes and idyllic scenes captured the imagination of the
contemporary public – and continue to delight over a century after
their initial publication. Presented alongside the text, her
illustrations (first published in 1888) further refine and elucidate
this carefully collated anthology.Pook Press celebrates the great
‘Golden Age of Illustration‘ in children’s literature – a
period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration from the 1880s
to the 1930s. Our collection showcases classic fairy tales,
children’s stories, and the work of some of the most celebrated
artists, illustrators and authors.
