Synopsis:

Cherished for their sensitive and detailed depictions of children, the works of Jessie Willcox Smith are some of the most recognised and remembered images of youth for adults today. One of America's foremost book and magazine illustrators of the early twentieth century, Smith saw in children a unique quality of innocence that she brilliantly portrayed through the creative use of colour and a keen sense of the personality of the child. This edition of "The Jessie Willcox Smith Mother Goose" is an accurate reproduction of the original "Mother Goose" volume illustrated by Smith. Added to this edition are five full-colour illustrations intended for this work but reproduced in black and white in the original first edition. A treasury of the well-known nursery rhymes, this book will enjoy a permanent spot on any family's bookshelf. The striking illustrations coupled with the original black and white drawings will surely charm the young and the young at heart.
