From the book jacket: The lively text examines the changing attitudes towards chldren during the Victorian era and the subsequent invention of the children's picture book. The images are as fascinating to children today AND to adults - as they were when originally produced. These illustrators all knew something that children know, and sharing this secret is their ultimate gift! The book is filled with original drawings (in black & white AND color), details of original watercolor illustrations (Peter Pan, Grimm's Fairy Tales, etc.); and colorful drawings are in great abundance here. Read the stories BEHIND the tales and learn something new that YOU can pass on. Wonderful book, wonderful artists, this is a winner! Codice libro della libreria 005821 Size: 28 Cm.
