Her charming children in quaint costumes and idyllic scenes captured the imagination of the contemporary public â and continue to delight over a century after their initial publication. Presented alongside the text, her illustrations (first published in 1888) further refine and elucidate this carefully collated anthology.Pook Press celebrates the great âGolden Age of Illustrationâ in childrenâs literature â a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration from the 1880s to the 1930s.
