A Apple Pie (Picture Book)

This charming little picture book uses an apple pie to teach children the alphabet. Apparently, Greenaway couldn't figure out something for "I," since it's not included.

This picture book was published in the 1886, and is still considered a classic for young children. Including the cover, this edition has 22 hand-drawn illustrations, 21 in full-color.

Catherine "Kate" Greenaway (17 March 1846 – 6 November 1901) was an English children's book illustrator and writer. Her drawings gave rise to a fashion in young children's clothing in the 1880s and 1890s.

Greenaway spent much of her childhood at Rolleston, Nottinghamshire. She studied at what is now the Royal College of Art in London, in the section for women. Her first book, Under the Window (1879), a collection of simple, perfectly idyllic verses about children, was a bestseller.

Greenaway died of breast cancer in 1901, at the age of 55. She is buried in Hampstead Cemetery, London. The Kate Greenaway Medal, established in her honour in 1955, is awarded annually by the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals in the UK to an illustrator of children's books.
