About the author

Walter Crane

1845–1915

A leading figure in the Arts and Crafts movement, this English artist brought fairy tales, nursery rhymes, and decorative design to life with bright color and elegant detail. His picture books helped shape the look of children’s illustration in the late 19th century.
