This book 'A Floral Fantasy In An Old English Garden' was
originally published in 1899. 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.
