The Big Book of Nursery Rhymes. Selected and edited by Walter Jerrold. With nearly 400 Illustrations in Colour or Black-and-White by Charles Robinson. Large 4to, cloth elegant, gilt edges, 7s. 6d. net.
This beautiful volume, in which Mr. Charles Robinson has interpreted with delightful humour and rare artistic skill the old familiar rhymes of the nursery, will be an unfailing source of pleasure to children of all ages. The pictures are bold, clear, and direct, as befits a book intended in the first place for little folk, but they exhibit at the same time a power of draughtsmanship that will give the volume a permanent artistic value.
“This is a really magnificent gift-book for quite little children.”—Saturday Review.
