    About this ebook

    When Summer on the earth was queen
    She held her court in gardens green
    Fair hung with tapestry of leaves,
    Where threads of gold the sun enweaves
    With checquered patterns on the floor
    Of velvet lawns the scythe smoothes o'er:
    Their waving fans the soft winds spread
    Each way to cool Queen Summer's head:
    The woodland dove made music soft,
    And Eros touched his lute full oft.

    Author

    Walter Crane

    Walter Crane (1845–1915) was an English artist, book illustrator, and one of the most influential children’s book creators of his generation. Crane produced not only paintings and illustrations for children's books, but also ceramic tiles and other decorative arts. From 1859 to 1862, Crane was apprenticed to wood-engraver William James Linton and had the opportunity to study works by many contemporary artists, including Sir John Tenniel, the illustrator of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass.
