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
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 wonderful Japanese influenced illustrations with
their bright, bold, flat colour and black outline never failed to
entertain both children and adults. This book 'The Song Of Sixpence
Picture Book' is one of many 'Toy Books', it contains the stories,
Sing A Song Of Sixpence, Princess Belle Etoile and An Alphabet Of
Old Friends. 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.
