Description

Marigold Garden is a picture book of rhymes by Kate Greenaway. Frederick Warne published it in London and New York. Its title page promises pictures and rhymes by Greenaway herself. Few artists have ever been so loved by children and parents.

Greenaway's little figures wear the quaint dress she made famous. Sunbonnets, mob caps, and garden frocks fill her sunny pages. Short rhymes match the pictures verse by verse. Her children play in gardens much like the one named here. The book helped set the style of Victorian childhood. Marigold Garden remains a treasure of the nursery shelf.
