The Children's Book of Dogs - Illustrated by Honor C. Appleton

In this wonderful book F. H. Lee retells ten delightful stories about dogs that are full of charm and cheek. Illustrated with adorable black and white line drawings by Honor C. Appleton. 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 editions using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children. About the Illustrator: Honor Charlotte Appleton (1879-1951) was known for her delicate watercolour illustrations influenced by Kate Greenaway and Arthur Rackham. She illustrated more than 100 children's books during her career including Alice in Wonderland Aladdin and Black Beauty but it was for her editions of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales and her illustrations of Josephine in H. C. Craddock's series that she received most universal acclaim.
