A Stroll Through Greenaway’s Garden – A Family Springtime Gathering

Kate Greenway was a bestselling Victorian children’s illustrator, popular for her idyllic illustrations and poetry and the Greenway medal is still awarded today to British children’s book illustrators.

“The fields were green, the skies were blue,

The daisies sprinkled with silver dew,

The lambs were bleating, birds did sing,

For it was once again the spring.”
