Sara Teasdale's wonderful collection of children's poetry, "Rainbow
Gold - Poems Old and New", was originally published in 1922. Exquisitely
illustrated by the accomplished children's illustrator Dugald Stewart
Walker, this charming volume is ideal for introducing children to poetry
and is not to be missed by collectors. Dugald Stewart Walker was one of
the most highly-celebrated American illustrators of children's books
during the early twentieth century and are best remembered for the
lavish, magical realm that they frequently described. He is perhaps best
known for his contributions to "Fairy Tales from Hans Christian
Andersen" (1914), but also illustrated books such as "The Boy who Knew
what the Birds Said" and "Dream Boats and Other Stories". Sara Teasdale
(1884 - 1933) was an American lyric poet. She was inducted into the St.
Louis Walk of Fame in 1994. The poems included in this book: "Kubla
Khan", "Meg Merrilies", "Berries", "Romance", "Hymn of Pan", "Written in
March", "When the Hounds of Spring", "Song", "Under the Greenwood Tree",
"To Violets", "On May Morning", "The Lepracaun", "Hunting Song", "The
Lady of Shalott", "Hymn to Diana", and many more. Pook Press celebrates
the great 'Golden Age of Illustration' in children's classics and fairy
tales - a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration. We
publish rare and vintage Golden Age illustrated books, in high-quality
colour editions, so that the masterful artwork and story-telling can
continue to delight both young and old.
