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.
