A Apple Pie and Traditional Nursery Rhymes (Everyman's Library Children's Classics)

This charming volume brings back into print some of the finest illustrated children's books from the Arts and Crafts Movement: Kate Greenaway's much-loved alphabet book, A Apple Pie , along with a selection of her illustrated nursery rhymes.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. Kate Greenaway (1846--1901) was an English illustrator and watercolorist famous for her fanciful, humorous drawings of child life.
