Product Description
Synopsis
English illustrator and painter Walter Crane (1845-1915) was noted for his imaginatively illustrated children's books. In this late-Victorian work, he created a delicately tinted "floral feast" of nature's loveliest blooms and accompanied his watercolors with appropriate lines of verse. Forty captivating illustrations depict figures attired in gowns, headdresses, tunics and more, composed of buttercups, tulips, irises, and other familiar flowers. From early spring to late winter, the year-long spectacle progresses, with snowdrops, daffodils, and violets displaying their simple charms, while "sweet hyacinths their bells...ring, to swell the music of the Spring." Summer's harvest of "love's own flower, the blushing rose," is succeeded by stately lilies, "pale and proud"; a procession of poppies, hollyhocks, and honeysuckle gives way to autumn's rich chrysanthemums and closes "with one last flower - a Christmas Rose." Sure to delight admirers of fine book illustration, this charming floral tribute will also thrill flower lovers of all ages and anyone enchanted by the wonderful world of make-believe
