This charming volume brings back into print two 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.

Kate 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.
