A new era in the history of children's books began in 1878 when Kate Greenaway's first book of pictures and verse, Under the Window, was published. This was followed by her Birthday Book, A Day in a Child's Life, Mother Goose, Little Ann, Language of Flowers, and Marigold Garden. These and the many other enchanting volumes she illustrated, gained her a devoted worldwide audience of all ages. Today's great revival of interest in Kate Greenaway's work is understandable; as an illustrator of childhood she had no equal in her day, nor has she had since. The Kate Greenaway Book contains a short biography and selections from her best-known as well as little-known works: a collection of texts and pictures, some never even published before, charmingly arranged for readers of all ages to enjoy.

As a lad of only sixteen years, Arthur pulled the sword from the stone and thus became High King of all Britain. But scarcely has he begun to arrange his court when twelve of the country's lesser kings, jealous of Arthur's glory, declare war on him.
