Audience: General/trade. 19th century English author and illustrator Kate Greenaway made publishing history with "Under the Window" in 1878. In Victorian England, her depictions of children became very popular, and remain so into the 21st century. Here, her works are sampled, with 2 published in full: "The Queen of the Pirate Isle" and "The Pied Piper of Hamelin". Others include portions of her Birthday Book for Children, A Day in a Child's Life, Mother Goose, The Language of Flowers, Marigold Garden, and more. She published prolifically from 1867 through 1900; a list is near the back. A delightfully, wonderfully illustrated anthology and reference.
