Hum a Sixpence Song

About This Novel

"Ivy Picture Book Gallery: Hum a Sixpence Song (Color Selected Edition)" is a collection of classic picture books by Randolph Caldecott, one of the most popular illustrators in the late 19th century in Britain. It includes several of his most popular classic picture books, such as "Jack Built a Big House", "Interesting Stories about John Kilpin" and "Hum a Sixpence Song" " and so on, among which " Fun Facts about John Kilpin" and " Hum a Sixpence Song" are the most well-known. The front of the famous American Caldecott Medal medal is the pattern of John galloping on horseback in " Fun Facts about John Kilpin", while the back of the medal is an illustration of the twenty-four starlings being baked into the pie in " Hum a Sixpence Song". Randolph Caldecott was a pioneer in British illustration during the Victorian period. He is good at using vivid and powerful lines to depict pictures, which are not precise but full of lively childishness. Most of his story themes are derived from ancient "lullabies". His humorous language, coupled with his exquisite and beautiful illustrations, and the unlimited space that arouses readers' imagination, make his works endlessly loved by countless children and adults. The Christmas picture book released every year became a must-have Christmas meal for the British at that time. To this day, his works are still full of vitality.
