This book 'The Buckle My Shoe Picture Book' is one of many 'Toy
Books' by Walter Crane and contains the stories Buckle My Shoe, The
Gaping-Wide-Mouth-Waddling Frog and My Mother. 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, colour editions, using the original text and artwork
so these works can delight another generation of children. About
the Illustrator: Walter Crane (1845-1915) was one of the earliest
contributors to children's literature and one of the most
influential illustrators in the development of children's' colour
picture books. Crane began working for Edmund Evans in 1864
producing bright, colourful children's books which revolutionised
the type of children's books available. He created a series of 'Toy
Books' between 1865-1875 which contained fairy stories, nursery
rhymes and other tales of adventures. His wonderful Japanese
influenced illustrations with their bright, bold, flat colour and
black outline never failed to entertain both children and adults.
This book 'A Masque Of Days, From The Last Essays Of Elia' was
originally published in 1901. The masque was a courtly feast
involving dance, theatre, music and song popular in sixteenth
century Europe and this work is a charming allegorical tale in
which the guests at such a masque are The Days of the year, whose
invitations are brought to them by twelve foot-pages called The
Hours. Guests include Pay Day, who arrives late, Rainy Day dressed
in wet stockings, and Wedding Day, who wears his marriage finery.

In An Artist's Eyes, follow Jo as he journeys through the world of
colour and creativity in an empowering story of confidence and
imagination. Jo is a little boy who desperately wants to 'see like
an artist'. He tries as hard as he can to see the things the way Mo
the artist does, and when he starts to use his imagination, he
realises that the things he can dream up are completely unique.
From the autumn oranges of the forest floor to pink and lilac
pigeons in flight, Mo teaches Jo to trust his own eyes, and to see
like an artist. This is a magical story about the power of
imagination and discovering that our individual perspectives make
us all artists, and no two artist's eyes are the same.
