This book 'Cinderella Picture Book' is one of many of Crane's 'Toy
Books'. It contains the stories Cinderella, Puss In Boots and
Valentine And Orson. 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 childrens' colour picture books. Crane began
working for Edmund Evans in 1864 producing bright, colourful
children's 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.
