‘The Babes in the Wood’ is a traditional children’s tale, telling the touching story of two innocents, abandoned in the woods. First published as an anonymous broadside ballad, printed by Thomas Millington in Norwich in 1595, the tale has since been reworked in many forms. ‘The Babes in the Wood’ frequently appears as a ‘Mother Goose Rhyme’, but is here adapted and beautifully illustrated (in full-colour), by Randolph Caldecott. This edition was originally published in 1879 as part of Caldecott's 'Picture Books' series. These were published in pairs, every year, from 1878 until his death in 1886. Randolph Caldecott was one of the most important British illustrators of the Victorian period. He transformed the world of decorated children’s books, with his delicate yet considered drawings and imaginative subject choices. Caldecott selected all the stories and rhymes he illustrated (and occasionally wrote) and frequently added his delightful style and humour to the stories himself. His delightful style and humour can still be enjoyed by young and old alike. Pook Press celebrates the great ‘Golden Age of llustration‘ in children’s literature – 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.
