Walter Crane
Walter Crane (1845–1915) was an English artist, book illustrator, and one of the most influential children’s book creators of his generation. Crane produced not only paintings and illustrations for children's books, but also ceramic tiles and other decorative arts. From 1859 to 1862, Crane was apprenticed to wood-engraver William James Linton and had the opportunity to study works by many contemporary artists, including Sir John Tenniel, the illustrator of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a delightful picture book that teaches children their alphabet in a humorous way. Even as an adult, I found it very comical. Learning is much more fun when it is made interesting, and this book is an excellent example.
