Kate Greenaway's 'Mother Goose Or The Old Nursery Rhymes' was
originally published in 1881, it contains many nursery rhymes and
tales together with her beautiful illustrations. 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: Kate Greenaway (1846-1901) was one
of the earliest contributors to children's literature and, along
with her contemporaries Walter Crane and Randolph Caldecott, was
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 using 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 considered
the highest accolade a British illustrator can be given.
