An Elegy on the Death of a Mad Dog (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press): One of a Series of Classic Victorian Children's Books by the British Artist and ... His Art Chiefly in Book Illustrations, Oliver Goldsmith

One of a series of classic Victorian children's books by the British artist and author. Caldecott was the eponym of the Caldecott Medal and transformed the world of children's books in the Victorian era. He exercised his art chiefly in book illustrations, which were full of life, and instinct with a kindly, graceful humour. The stories and rhymes were all of his choosing and in some cases were written or added to by himself.
