This book 'A Masque Of Days, From The Last Essays Of Elia' was
originally published in 1901. The masque was a courtly feast
involving dance, theatre, music and song popular in sixteenth
century Europe and this work is a charming allegorical tale in
which the guests at such a masque are The Days of the year, whose
invitations are brought to them by twelve foot-pages called The
Hours. Guests include Pay Day, who arrives late, Rainy Day dressed
in wet stockings, and Wedding Day, who wears his marriage finery.
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: 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. His Arts and
Crafts illustrations came to typify children's books for decades to
come.
