"Kate Greenaway (1846-1901) was one of the most popular British book illustrators of the Victorian era. One of Greenaway's early successes was Mother Goose, or the Old Nursery Rhymes, first published in 1881. Her watercolors of children wearing clothing from an earlier age and frolicking in the countryside evoked the Victorian reader's sense of nostalgia for the rural life of eighteenth-century England, and echoed Greenaway's own longing to retreat from the industrial urban setting of her native London." "This new edition of Kate Greenaway's Mother Goose reproduces illustrations from the rare 1881 edition in the Huntington Library's collections."--BOOK JACKET.
