A lovely alphabet book by Kate Greenaway telling the story of the life of an apple pie: A is for "apple pie;" B is for "bit it;" C is for "cut it;" D is for "dealt it;" and so on, ending with "UVWXYZ all had a large slice and went off to bed." The charming illustrations depict children in various stages of playing with, fighting for, and eating the apple pie. Kate Greenaway (1846-1901) was one of the most popular illustrators of children s books in the latter part of the 19th century. She studied at South Kensington and the Slade and later became an illustrator for Edmund Evans, the printer for Walter Crane and Randolph Caldecott. Her method was to draw in watercolor and then transfer her drawings to woodblocks. Her illustrations were so successful that she exhibited them at the Royal Academy in 1877 and the Fine Arts Society in 1891. She was also a friend of John Ruskin and maintained a long correspondence with him. This is probably the first Warne edition published the same year as the first edition by George Routledge in London in 1886. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 3000 quer 8° . Farbig illustr. OHLn.
