Kate Greenaway
|
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
(1846-1901) Encouraged by John Ruskin's enthusiasm for her art, and her own success in producing books for children that were unprecedented in English publishing history, Kate Greenaway became an icon of the Victorian era. Her style is instantly recognizable, and spawned many immitators. Kate Greenaway herself did extensive research for costumes and backgrounds, and she took her work seriously. The beautiful picture books she illustrated in the latter quarter of the 19th century have held their popularity and are still appearing in reprinted forms today.

Out-of-print books are harder to stock than new books, and some are hard to find, period. If the title you are seeking is not listed for sale above, that probably means that I am currently out of stock. However, I am always on the lookout for books, and will gladly quote you when I do find your coveted book. To add your name to my Wants Files, simply fill out a Book Request Form and I will e-mail you when I have a copy in stock. Thanks. |
