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 book, 'R. Caldecott's Picture Book No. 1', is a
collection of the first four stories he published. 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.
