About this ebook
This book, 'R. Caldecott's Picture Book No. 2', is a collection of the stories published as part of Caldecott 'Picture Books' series between 1880-1881. These were published in pairs, every year, from 1878 until his death in 1886. Stories compiled in this volume are Three Jovial Huntsmen, Sing a Song for Sixpence, The Queen of Hearts, and The Farmers Boy.
Randolph Caldecott was one of the most important British illustrators of the Victorian period. He transformed the world of decorated children’s books, with his delicate yet considered drawings and imaginative subject choices. Caldecott selected all the stories and rhymes he illustrated (and occasionally wrote) and frequently added his delightful style and humour to the stories himself.
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.
