Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This book 'The Song Of Sixpence Picture Book' is one of the celebrated 'Toy Books' produced by Walter Crane and Edmund Evans. It contains the stories, Sing A Song Of Sixpence, Princess Belle Etoile and An Alphabet Of Old Friends. Walter Crane (1845 - 1915), was an English artist and book il…lustrator. He is considered to be the most influential, and among the most prolific, children's book creator of his generation. Alongside such names as Randolph Caldecott and Kate Greenaway, he was also one of the strongest contributors to the child's nursery theme. Crane's work is characteristically colourful and beautifully detailed, taking its inspiration from the Arts and Crafts movement (of which he was a member), as well as the iconic child-in-the-garden motif. The artwork and the text of 'Baby's Opera: Old Rhymes and New Dresses' are presented side-by-side, so that the two may be better appreciated. 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. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Crane, Walter (illustratore).

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Written between the years 1798 and 1801, The Lucy Poems is a charming, pocket-sized collection of William Wordsworth's Lucy poems, first published in one of his best-known works, Lyrical Ballads. The lyrical poetry in this volume explores nature motifs alongside melancholic themes of grief…and unrequited love, surrounding a young English girl's death. Lucy's identity continues to be unknown and she is commonly thought to be figurative, a literary device for Wordsworth to reflect his own feelings of longing and loss on to. This collection includes all five of Wordsworth's Lucy poems: - 'Stange fits of passion I have known' - 'She dwelt among the untrodden ways' - 'I travelled among unknown men' - 'Three years she grew in sun and shower' - 'A slumber did my spirit seal' Wordsworth was traveling Germany with his sister, Dorothy, at the time of writing this series. His growing irritation at his traveling companion and his desire to be reunited with his close friend, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, is evident in the works. Four of the five poems were first published in the collection Lyrical Ballads, composed by Wordsworth and Coleridge, that went on to form part of the early Romantic movement in England. This small edition of Wordsworth's Lucy poems has been republished by Read & Co. Books Ragged Hand, complete with introductory excerpts from Thomas De Quincey and Thomas Carlyle. The Lucy Poems is an ideal collection for lovers of Romantic era poetry and Wordsworth's beautiful nature imagery - the perfect companion for those who love reading poetry on the go. Written between the years 1798 and 1801, The Lucy Poems is a charming, pocket-sized collection of William Wordsworth's Lucy poems, first published in one of his best-known works, Lyrical Ballads.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This early work by H. G. Wells was originally published in 1903 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography as part of our Cryptofiction Classics series. 'The Valley of the Spiders' is a short story about a group of men who encounter an unstoppable swarm of arachn…ids. Herbert George Wells was born in Bromley, England in 1866. He apprenticed as a draper before becoming a pupil-teacher at Midhurst Grammar School in West Sussex. Some years later, Wells won a scholarship to the School of Science in London, where he developed a strong interest in biology and evolution, founding and editing the Science Schools Journal. However, he left before graduating to return to teaching, and began to focus increasingly on writing. It was in 1895 that Wells seriously established himself as a writer, with the publication of the now iconic novel, The Time Machine. Wells followed The Time Machine with the equally well-received War of the Worlds (1898), which proved highly popular in the USA.

On Battle Hill, just outside London, a group of townspeople are performing a new play by Peter Stanhope. This hill, however, appears to be positioned at a pivotal place in space and time, as people from the past be…gin to appear and the townsfolk are transported either to heaven, or to hell.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Angela Brazil's "The Madcap of the School" is a fantastic exploration of life at a traditional English girls' boarding school as shown through the eyes of one of its bright young attendants. Set to the backdrop of World War I, it follows the experiences of Raymonde and her friends during th…e formative years of their life. Highly recommended for young girls and those with an interest in early school girls' fiction. Angela Brazil (1868 - 1947) was an English author most famous for being one of the first writers of "modern schoolgirls' stories". Her stories were presented from the characters' point of view and were written primarily as entertainment rather than moral instruction. During the first half of the 20th century, Brazil published nearly 50 such books, with the vast majority being set in English boarding schools. Brazil's work had a significant influence on changing the nature of fiction for girls. Her charters were chiefly young females, active, independent, and aware. Brazil's books were often considered to be immoral and deviant, leading to their being burned or banned by many Headteachers in girls schools across Britain. Contents include: "The Mystic Seven", "The Limberlost", "Raymonde Explores", "Fifth-Form Tactics", "A Midnight Scare", "The Crystal Gazers", "The Beano", "A Week on the Land", "The Campers", "Canteen Assistants", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author. Part of the 'School Story Classics' Series, this fantastic exploration of life at a traditional English girls' boarding school as shown through the eyes of one of its bright young attendants.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. How to Trap And Snare: A Complete Manual For The Sportsman, Game Preserver And Amateur On The Art Of Taking Animals And Birds In Traps, Snares and Nets With Numerous IllustrationsBy William Carnegie "This manual is intended to provide as much practical insight into the various modes of trap…ping, snaring, and netting the animals and birds of the British Isles as can be furnished by writing. Whenever possible and desirable, such insight is given of the haunts and habitats of the creatures to be caught as may prove useful to the amateur or tyro, for whom it is more particularly planned, than for the professional. Every piece of work, device, trap, snare, or net described has been performed, employed, or made by the author, and it is hoped that the experience gained during many years may prove of advantage to others who may be induced to follow the Art of the Trapper, either for pastime or profit" William Carnegie, 1880. Originally published at the turn of the century, this extremely rare book has been reprinted in a high-quality soft-cover edition by Read Country Books.It is a complete and detailed treatise on the art of trapping, snaring and netting, written by a master of the craft and extensively illustrated throughout.
