They saw their work in gathering the fairy tales of Europe as an
academic exercise, but the Brothers Grimm-aka German folklorists
and linguists JAKOB (1785-1863) and WILHELM GRIMM (1786-1859)-are
today remembered best as tellers of dark stories for children.
Here, in one compact volume, are 53 of the most beloved of the
stories they assembled, from well-known ones such as "The Sleeping
Beauty," "The Frog Prince," "Rapunzel," and "Hansel and Grethel" to
more obscure ones including "The Rabbit's Bride," "Six Soldiers of
Fortune," "Faithful John," and "The Three Spinsters." A treasury of
classic stories, this replica of an 1886 edition-translated by
English writer LUCY CRANE (1842-1882), with beautiful line drawings
by her brother, William Crane-will delight children and adults
alike.
Recounts the life and adventures of Robin Hood, who, with his band of followers, lived as an outlaw in Sherwood Forest dedicated to fighting tyranny.

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.
