I’m a firm believer in freedom of information. ...............Our tax dollars pay to keep these libraries. We should be able to have access to information we technically own. ..............

Thanks Rhiannon

This is already the largest Kate Greenaway’s online library of books displayed in their integrity, we have many more and we will be adding them in the next few weeks.
This week we added two new books to her library:

(A must read book about her that also include many of her drawings difficult to find elsewhere)
Kate Greenaway Birthday Book New
We also added:
The Kelmscott Press and William Morris Master-Craftman by H. Halliday Spalding New
(A classic work on the Kelmscott Press with many images of William Morris work)
New book added:
The Grammar of Ornament by Owen Jones New
Joe Freedman has donated the images of all the pages of this book.
This is a high quality photographic reproduction of this priced edition, far better in color fidelity and details than many scanned version available online and for purchase in CDs.
We added two new first edition children books in the list of Kate Greenaway: “Under the Window” that is her first complete book (drawings and rhymes). It is also her first book engraved and printed by Edmund Evans. The second is “A day in a Child’s Life”, a book of images and songs; the music is from Myles B. Foster also engraved and printed by Evans. Both published by George Routledge & Sons.
Under the Window New
A Day in a Child’s Life New A stunning new book of the floral series From Walter Crane: “Queen Summer or the Tourney of the Lily and the Rose” published by Cassell & Co Ltd. Many antiquarian booksellers list this book misspelling the title and call it: “Queen Summer or the Journey of the Lily and the Rose”. No matter which way people read the “T” in Crane’s gothic calligraphy; the book is here!
Queen Summer or the Tourney of the Lily and the Rose New Enjoy the beautiful illustrations.
