Dream Blocks - Illustrated by Jessie Willcox Smith (Hardcover)

This book contains a number of delightful children's poems written by Aileen Cleveland Higgins accompanied by the beautifully delicate illustrations of Jessie Willcox Smith. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality, colour editions, using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children. About the Illustrator: Jessie Willcox Smith (1863-1935) was one of America's leading illustrators and epitomised the home life of the late-Victorian period. Early on in her career, she was compared to Kate Greenaway and her charming drawings depict a world of happy families and heartfelt emotion although she herself never married or had children. She illustrated over 200 covers of Good Housekeeping as well as a multitude of children's books.
