Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Birds and Flowers: Or, Lays and Lyrics of Rural Life It is with cordial satisfaction we submit to the Public the present volume, characterized as it is by a singularly felicitous combination of talent - namely, that of a deservedly popular English Authoress, whose admirable contributions to English literature will not readily be forgotten; and that of a distinguished French Artist, whose designs in "The Bird" by Michelet, and "Nature" by Madame Michelet, have attracted the favourable attention of our best Art-critics by their power, delicacy, and truthfulness. It was at our special request that M. Giacomelli kindly undertook the task of illustrating the following pages; and we think the reader will own that he has executed it with the greatest success. If we are not mistaken, he has interpreted the graceful poetry of Mary Howitt with kindred grace. Such being the case, we presume to expect for the present volume, - one of a series of Juvenile Art-Books we are engaged in preparing, - a very considerable measure of popularity; and we confidently believe that this new edition of "Birds and Flowers" will make the honoured name of Mary Howitt still more widely known as that of one of our most agreeable English writers, and M. Giacomelli´s as that of one of the most eminent artists of modern France. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
