The texts Caldecott chose for his picture books includes such classic nursery rhymes as The House That Jack Built, Sing a Song of Sixpence, The Queen of Hearts, and Hey Diddle Diddle, as well as songs like The Milkmaid, The Farmer's Boy, and The Three Jovial Huntsmen. William Cowper's poem, The Diverting History of John Gilpin, also makes an appearance. I'm not sure that today's children will find these books especially appealing, as stories, but the artwork is simply gorgeous! Alternating between color plates and simple drawings, they have a distinctly Victorian aesthetic, while also being sprightly and humorous.
I savored this book, delighting in the illustrations (particularly those for The Queen of Hearts), and am grateful to my friend Kathryn for recommending this one. Anyone with an interest in the history of children's literature, and its accompanying illustrations, would do well to familiarize themselves with Caldecott's work. This handy volume is a step in that direction! (
