"The Man That Pleased None", from
Walter Crane
's 1887 illustrated book
The Baby's Own Aesop
, a collection of
Aesop's Fables
retold in
limerick
format.
Aesop
lived in
Ancient Greece
between 620 and 560 BCE, and his
fables
are some of the most well known in the world, remaining a popular choice for
moral education
of children today. Crane, a member of the
Arts and Crafts movement
, popularised the child-in-the-garden
motifs
that would characterise many
nursery rhymes
and
children's stories
for decades to come.
Restoration:
