Crane's wonderful colour illustrations enhance the romantic,
nostalgic quality of the text. 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. 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 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
Arts and Crafts illustrations came to typify children's books for
decades to come.

they are doing and get up and be part of a story. Every story.
Well, the bears have had enough. They are going on strike. This
hilarious book looks at some alternatives for all the parts bears
play in stories. But what sort of animal could be... juuuuuust
right?
Where does everyone?and everything?live? A House Is a House for Me
is a rollicking rhyme about houses. Some of the houses are
familiar, such as an anthill and a dog kennel, while others are
surprising, such as a corn husk and a pea pod. This longtime
favorite is filled with pictures that parents and children will
want to look at again and again in a beautifully produced, deluxe
fullsized edition.
Randolph Caldecott (1846-1886) was one of the most important
British illustrators. He transformed the world of decorated
children's books in the Victorian era. In 1877, he was asked by
Edmund Evans, the colour printer and talented engraver, to
illustrate two children's books. These books were an immediate
success and he went on to produce two books every Christmas until
he died. Caldecott chose all the stories and rhymes he illustrated
and occasionally wrote and added to the stories himself. His
delightful style and humour can still be enjoyed by young and old
alike. This story, 'The Queen Of Hearts', was originally published
in 1881. 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.
