About this book

The Complete Collection of Pictures and Songs gathers the picture books of Randolph Caldecott (1846-1886), the English illustrator whose lively, witty drawings transformed the children's picture book and whose name graces the Caldecott Medal, American children's illustration's highest honour. This 1887 Routledge collection brings together his toy-book classics with their songs and rhymes. Caldecott's influence on the picture book is incalculable. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.

About the author

Randolph Caldecott

Randolph Caldecott transformed familiar rhymes into picture narratives in which gesture, pacing, and comic detail carry as much meaning as the words. The listing Ride a Cock Horse to Banbury X points to his illustrated Ride a Cock-Horse to Banbury Cross, while The Fox Jumps Over The Parson’s Gate shows his lively treatment of a traditional hunting song.
