Edmund Evans produced her first book (âUnder the Windowâ) in 1879, which was an instant best-seller and cemented her pre-eminent position. 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. Appearing alongside the text of âMarigold Gardenâ, 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. Our collection showcases classic fairy tales, childrenâs stories, and the work of some of the most celebrated artists, illustrators and authors.
