About this ebook
Pook Press celebrates the great ‘Golden Age of Illustration‘ in children’s literature – a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration from the 1880s to the 1930s. Our collection showcases classic fairy tales, children’s stories, and the work of some of the most celebrated artists, illustrators and authors.
Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) was one of the premier illustrators of the early 20th Century. He illustrated many books, the first of which was published in 1893. Throughout his career he had developed a very individual style that is was to influence a whole generation of children, artists and other illustrators. His haunting humour and dreamlike romance adds to the enchantment and fantasy of children's literature.

SCENE I
SNICKERTY NICK
SCENE I.—A flower garden covered with frost and snow. Here and there bushes covered with snow—large enough to hide children. On the right a tower with window and door. In the middle back a wall with a barred gate, through which flowers are seen blooming outside. On the step of the tower is seen the Dwarf. He has a kind quaint face. He is painting an enormous sign.

DWARF
A Giant owns this garden
Where the children want to play,
But the Giant hates the children
And chases them away;
And there can’t be any summer here,
The sun will never stay,
For where no children ever come,
It’s winter every day.
Now I’m the Giant’s servant
And I never have my way:
For I have to tell the children
That they mustn’t come and play.
For I wouldn’t want them eaten up
And so I have to say,
It’s not my grass, you can’t come in,
You’ve got to go away.
