Summary: 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.
