All upside down

English People"s Songs Translated Gregory Kruzhkov with painted engravings in drawings of Randolph Caldekotta - Classic Children"s Book Illustration. Lightweight, laconic, complete humor drawings turn every poem into an exciting story, and just a book - in a bright, charming "book-picture".
The publication is a subtle stylization under the English book of the end of the XIX century: the harmonious alternation of drawings into one paint and complex painted engravings, selection of fonts and shades, toned pages. The grace and impeccable simplicity of the book, as a hundred years ago, will delight children and parents. Caldekott illustrations are published in Russia for the first time.
The genius of Randolph Caldekotte will live in centuries. Caldekott - the Lord of the Children"s. No one can compare with him. He is excellent. Truly poor is the children"s room, the bookshelf, where there is no paintings books".
