About This Item
This little volume may seem simple in its scope, but is evidence of Greenaway's appreciation for art history; during her education, she spent time studying illuminated manuscripts at the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the letters inhabited by playful children in this volume find their aesthetic ancestors in these manuscripts.
A lovely little book. 2.75'' x 2.25''. Original color pictorial wrappers, saddle-stitched. Illustrated in color throughout. [32] pages. Some light chipping of color to corners and at spine; light scuffing to wrappers. Illustrations sharp.
