English folk songs translated by Grigory Kruzhkov with colored engravings based on the drawings of Randolph Caldecott - a classic of children's book illustration. Light, laconic, full of humor drawings turn each poem into an exciting story, and just a book into a bright, charming “picture book”. The publication is a subtle stylization of an English book of the late 19th century: a harmonious alternation of single-color drawings and complex colored engravings , selection of fonts and shades, tinted pages. The elegance and impeccable simplicity of the book, just like a hundred years ago, will delight children and parents. Caldecott's illustrations are published in Russia for the first time.
