This edition of Alice in Wonderland was originally published in
1907. Here Alice's adventures down the rabbit hole are depicted by
the bright and beautiful colour illustrations of W. H. Walker. Pook
Press celebrates the great Golden Age of Illustration in children's
literature and are reprinting this book for adults and children to
enjoy once again. About the Author: Charles Dodgson (1832-1898) is
best known by his pseudonym Lewis Carroll. A polymath who is
arguably best known as an author, but who also worked as a
mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer, his most
famous works are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and the sequel
Alice Through the Looking-Glass. Dodgson was a prolific writer who
contributed children's stories, mathematical theses and political
pamphlets to a variety of magazines.
The Banbury Cross Series was a collection of 12 volumes of books
edited by Grace Rhys and published in London by Dent in the 1890s.
Each book is attractively illustrated with full page and partial
page pen and ink drawings in a classic Art Nouveau style by leading
artists of the era. H. Isabel Adams was chosen to illustrated
Little Red Riding Hood and Tom Thumb. Her black and white pen and
ink drawings are full of emotion and magnificently complement Rhys'
adaptations of these children's favourites. Many of the earliest
children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and
before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook
Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable,
high quality editions, using the original text and artwork so these
works can delight another generation of children.

A New York Times Bestseller! This magical adventure from the #1
digital comic platform WEBTOON continues as Dani and Dorian answer
the question they've been avoiding: could one of them be the king
of witches? A classic good-vs-evil struggle plays out on an epic
stage in the second volume of this bestselling comic. Dani and
Dorian Wytte have been through everything together-including
joining forces with trouble maker Nico, Princess Monica, and golden
boy Mark to sneak into the witch's sabbath, spring hostages from
prison, and defend the castle when it was attacked by witches. With
witches like their parents out for power and blood and non-magical
people increasingly threatened by them, Dani and Dorian don't know
whose side they're on . . .or if anyone's on their side. That
includes their brother, Damien, who disappeared after being crowned
King of Witches. But since Monica's father, the king, and her
fiance, Prince William disappeared, too, Dani and Dorian know they
must set out to find their lost allies. Luckily, they aren't alone.
Based on the beloved webcomic from WEBTOON, Hooky Volume 2 picks up
right where the action left off and is in stunning print format for
the first time with exclusive new content sure to please fans new
and old.

This illustrated edition retains Willy Pogany's original drawings.
Master storyteller Padraic Colum's rich, musical voice captures all
the magic and majesty of the Norse sagas in his retellings of the
adventures of the gods and goddesses who lived in the Northern
paradise of Asgard before the dawn of history. Here are the
matchless tales of All-Father Odin, who crosses the Rainbow Bridge
to walk among men in Midgard and sacrifices his right eye to drink
from the Well of Wisdom; of Thor, whose mighty hammer defends
Asgard; of Loki, whose mischievous cunning leads him to treachery
against the gods; of giants, dragons, dwarfs and Valkyries; and of
the terrible last battle that destroyed their world. These ancient
stories from Northern Europe, which make up one of the great myth
cycles of Western civilization, spring to life in The Children of
Odin. The late Padraic Colum was a poet, playwright, founder of the
Irish Review and a leader of the Irish Renaissance, but he is
perhaps best known today for his outstanding books for children. He
was awarded the Regina Medal in 1961 for his "distinguished
contribution to children's literature," honoring works like The
Children's Homer, The Golden Fleece (a Newbery Honor Book), The
Arabian Nights, The King of Ireland's Son and Roofs of Gold.
