Randolph Caldecott (1846-1886) was one of the most important
British illustrators. He transformed the world of decorated
children's books in the Victorian era. In 1877, he was asked by
Edmund Evans, the colour printer and talented engraver, to
illustrate two children's books. These books were an immediate
success and he went on to produce two books every Christmas until
he died. Caldecott chose all the stories and rhymes he illustrated
and occasionally wrote and added to the stories himself. His
delightful style and humour can still be enjoyed by young and old
alike. This story, 'The Queen Of Hearts', was originally published
in 1881. 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.

"There is nothing in England that exercises a more delightful spell
over my imagination than the lingerings of the holiday customs and
rural games of former times." So begins Irving's classic recital of
Christmas traditions in 19th-century England. Originally part of
The Sketch Books of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., which also included
Irving's most famous stories, Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of
Sleepy Hollow, Old Christmas depicts Irving's Christmas Eve trip by
stagecoach to Yorkshire and the delightful holiday games and
rituals he shared with his hosts at their home, Bracebridge Hall.
Famed illustrator Randolph Caldecott's sketches provide a perfect
complement to Irving's descriptions of holiday cheer.
