This beautiful hardcover edition brings back into print Kate Greenaway's much-loved alphabet book, A Apple Pie, along with a selection of her illustrated nursery rhymes, in glorious full color.
In two of the finest illustrated children's books from the Arts and Crafts Movement, Greenaway's drawings conjure up a never-never land of rural simplicity and innocence—an escape from the squalor of Victorian cities—that is as delightful now as it was when these gems of children's literature first appeared in the 1880s.
Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, and European-style half-round spines.
“Children and young love, birds and flowers, fairy tales and fantasy are the essence of Greenaway's unmistakable art. Her imagination and artistry have given us some of the most memorable treasures of Victoriana, and have filled many a nineteenth-century heart with joy and love.” —Nancy Rosin, The Metropolitan Museum of Art
KATE GREENAWAY (1846–1901) was an English illustrator and watercolorist famous for her fanciful, humorous drawings of child life. Her work is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Royal Academy, and other collections around
