Pook Press celebrates the great Golden Age of Illustration in
children's literature. Many of the earliest children's books,
particularly those dating back to the 1850s 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:
Honor Charlotte Appleton (1879-1951) was known for her delicate
watercolour illustrations influenced by Kate Greenaway and Arthur
Rackham. She illustrated more than 100 children's books during her
career including Alice in Wonderland, Aladdin, and Black Beauty but
it was for her editions of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales
and her illustrations of Josephine in H. C. Craddock's series that
she received most universal acclaim.
