London: Raphael Tuck & Sons, Ltd, 1914 . Scarce anthology of stories and verse for children, brightly illustrated by Cowham, whose impish figures threatened for a time to eclipse the popularity of Kate Greenaway's pastel waifs. Very good. Item #29770 One of the first female illustrators for PUNCH and a friend and peer of Mabel Lucie Attwell, Cowham's distinctive long-legged figures with big hair and black stockings
