Description

Kate Greenaway’s ‘Mother Goose Or The Old Nursery Rhymes’ used to be originally published in 1881, it contains many nursery rhymes and tales in conjunction with her beautiful illustrations. Some of the earliest children’s books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and more and more expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable, top quality, colour editions, the use of the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children. About the Illustrator: Kate Greenaway (1846-1901) used to be probably the most earliest contributors to children’s literature and, together with her contemporaries Walter Crane and Randolph Caldecott, used to be amongst the most influential illustrators in the development of children’s colour picture books. Her collaboration in 1876 with Edmund Evans who reproduced her paintings the use of hand-engraved wood blocks brought her much popularity. She has enchanted people, young and old, for over one hundred years with her watercolour illustrations of sweet, charming eighteenth century children with their quaint costumes and idyllic scenes. In recognition of her lifetime work, the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals of Great Britain established an award in her name in 1955 and to receive the Kate Greenaway Medal today is thought of as the highest accolade a British illustrator can also be given.
