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. Anne Anderson
(1874-c.1940) was a Scottish illustrator chiefly noted for her Art
Nouveau children's book illustrations that display fluidity typical
of the movement. Characteristic of her work are decorative and
lightly drawn or painted illustrations of neatly dressed children,
neatly dressed with pear-shaped faces. Anderson's work has been
compared to that of Jessie M. King, a contemporary.
