Classic Children's Tales by Beatrix Potter
2015 marks the 150th anniversary of Frederick Warne, which was founded in 1865 and is most famous for publishing Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Peter Rabbit. To celebrate the anniversary, we have compiled Classic Children's Tales:150 Years of Frederick Warne, an attractive foil-stamped collector's item that includes Sly Old Cat, a never-before-published story of Beatrix Potter's. It also features stories from household names in children's books: Randolph Caldecott's Sing a Song of Sixpence, Kate Greenaway's Apple Pie and Mother Goose, and Edward Lear's Nonsense Songs and Stories and The Book of Nonsense.
Greenaway, Kate: - Kate Greenaway (1846-1901) British author and artist Kate Greenaway grew up in North London and spent summers in the Nottinghamshire countryside. These happy times from her childhood were the foundation of many of her stories. Her illustrations--portraying the idyllic landscape as a playground for children dressed in sumptuous Regency clothing--offered a romanticized escape from the realities of the ever-encroaching industrialized world. In her costume designs, she combined the influences of her mother, an accomplished seamstress, with those of her father, a master engraver. She studied art in London where she developed a close relationship with printer Edmund Evans (1826-1905). Together they produced more than 150 books. Greenaway's popular illustrations inspired lines of ceramics, jewelry, fabrics, wallpaper, and children's clothing.
