Summary: "Children's Books and Their Illustrators" by Gleeson White is a comprehensive examination of the evolution and artistic contributions of children's literature, likely written during the late 19th century. This work delves into the relationship between text and illustration, discussing how artists have significantly enriched children's books, transforming them from mere educational tools to vibrant artistic creations that appeal to young minds. It addresses various themes, historical contexts, and notable illustrators that have shaped the genre.
