The Art of Kate Greenaway is the first book to bring together in color such a large selection of Kate Greenaway's art. The book charts her work from her earliest teenage paintings, to her exhibited oil paintings and watercolors, to the greeting cards and children's books that made her a celebrity. The pictures are accompanied by a brief biography and an examination of her achievements in the area of book illustration.

Kate Greenaway's life and her love of Art,
By LinAnne "Lin22" (Puget Sound) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Art of Kate Greenaway, The: A Nostalgic Portrait of Childhood (Hardcover)
This book is probably the best book out there,(to date), that gives a nice background of Kate's life, and also it contains some of Kate's sketches and color paintings. If you love Kate's artistic style and have always wanted a book containing most of her art works, then this book will not disappoint.
