'The very essence of all illustration for children's books' said
The Times on Christmas Eve, 1878, shortly after the publication of
Caldecott's first two picture books, or Toy Books as they were
called, John Gilpin and The House that Jack Built. They were an
immediate success, and in Caldecott's special talent for
juxtaposing words and pictures, he created a tradition of
children's picture-book making that continues to the present day
and has influenced many artists, in particular, Maurice Sendak.
Between 1878 and 1886 Cldecott produced sixteen picture books,
taking as texts traditional rhymes and songs, and illustrating them
in sepia colour with great humour and feeling for the English
countryside which so often provides the background. The collection
reproduces eight of his books, including The Babes in the Wood,
Oliver Goldsmith's Elegy on the Death of a Mad Dog, The Great
Panjandrum Himself, The Queen of Hearts, Ride a Cock-Horse to
Banbury Cross, and Sing a Song Of Sixpence.
