Originally published in 1912, Songs of Innocence, was written by the legendary William Blake (1757 1827), and illustrated with the stunning drawings of Honor Appleton. It is a collection of nineteen poems, including of The Lamb, The Blossom, Night, Spring, Nurses Song, and The SchoolBoy. The prequel to Songs of Experience, this book redefines our traditional notions of paradise and the fall representing childhood a state of protected innocence rather than original sin, but not immune to the fallen world and its institutions.Honor C. Appleton (1879 1951), was a master of the trade. During her lifetime, she illustrated over onehundredandfifty books, with her most famous works including Our Nursery Rhyme Book (1912),Charles Perraults Fairy Tales (1919), and the collected Stories of Hans Christian Andersen (1922). As her career progressed, she began producing bolder images for literary classics, Songs of Innocence being a prime example of this progression. Presented alongside the text, Appletons enchanting creations serve to further refine and enhance William Blakes masterful poetry making this a book to be enjoyed and appreciated, by both young and old; innocent, and experienced.Pook Press celebrates the great Golden Age of Illustration in childrens classics and fairy tales a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration. We publish rare and vintage Golden Age illustrated books, in highquality colour editions, so that the masterful artwork and storytelling can continue to delight both young and old.
