Kate Greenwaway (1846-1901) is one of the most popular children’s book illustrators of all time. Edmund Evans produced her first book in 1879, which sold out resulting in triumph and gaining Greenaway her reputation. She has enchanted people, young and old, for over one hundred years with her watercolour illustrations of sweet, charming eighteenth century children with their quaint costumes and idyllic scenes. This book ‘The Pied Piper Of Hamelin’, written by Robert Browning and illustrated by Kate Greenaway was originally published in 1888. Many of the earliest children’s books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality, colour editions, using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children.

Owen (Mouse Books)
Owen had a fuzzy yellow blanket. “Fuzzy goes where I go,” said Owen. But Mrs. Tweezers disagreed. She thought Owen was too old for a blanket. Owen disagreed. No matter what Mrs. Tweezers came up with, Blanket Fairies or vinegar, Owen had the answer. But when school started, Owen’t mother knew just what to do, and everyone — Owen, Fuzzy, and even Mrs. Tweezers — was happy.

Lion & the Mouse

Newly retired as Perpetual Madam President and Secretary, respectively of the Mouse Prisoners’ Aid Society, Miss Bianca and her stalwart right-hand-mouse Bernard settle down for a life of well-deserved peace and quiet, when who should re-enter their lives but Nils, the valiant Norwegian sailor-mouse from their adventures in The Rescuers.
His news is most distressing: the Poet is in trouble again! Saved from the Black Castle in The Rescuers, the Poet has joined a Scientific Expedition to the Antarctic – and has become trapped there, a prisoner of whirlwinds and breaking ice fields. Duty is clear; the Poet must be saved again! But how?
As Miss Bianca and Bernard set out to brave the perils of the icy Antarctic, little do they realize the ever greater dangers in store for the.

Miss Bianca in the Salt Mines (The Rescuers #4)
Off on another grand adventure, this time to rescue Teddy-age-eight from the salt mines (better known as an underground prison).

Turret, The (The Rescuers #3)
The fabulous Miss Bianca has resigned, perhaps prematurely, as Madam Chairwoman of the Mouse Prisoners’ Aid Society. In her honor an enchanting water picnic is held at the lily moat beneath a ruined turret in the park outside the city. While the band plays Handel’s Water Music, the ever observant Miss Bianca discovers that someone is being held prisoner in the old turret.
It turns out to be the wicked Mandrake. No one, not even her dear friend Bernard (who in the course of events may be forced into a most unfortunate marriage), is the slightest bit inclined toward rescuing that scoundrel–in spite of Miss Bianca’s conviction that he has reformed. Adventures fraught with danger follow as Miss Bianca, alone, pays a midnight visit to the turret to ponder Mandrake’s penitence and make plans. Her plans come to include one boy scout, a precocious mouse named Shaun, and the magnificent stallion Sir Hector.
