This copy is something of a wounded bird with the lovely Charles Robinson plates. Charles Robinson(18701937) was a prolific British bookillustrator. Born inIslingtonin October 1870, London,[1][2]he was the son of illustrator Thomas Robinson, and his brothersThomas Heath RobinsonandWilliam Heath Robinsonalso became illustrators.[3]He served an apprenticeship as aprinterand took art lessons in the evenings. He won a place at theRoyal Academyin 1892 but was unable to take it up due to lack of finances.The first full book he illustrated wasRobert Louis Stevenson'sA Child's Garden of Verses(1895) which includes over 100 pen and ink drawings. It was extremely popular, going through many reprints, and generated numerous commissions. He illustrated manyfairy talesand children's books throughout his career, includingEugene Field'sLullaby Land(1897),W. E. Cule'sChild Voices(1899),Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué'sSintram and His Companions(1900),Alice's Adventures in Wonderland(1907),Grimm's Fairy Tales(1910),Frances Hodgson Burnett'sThe Secret Garden(1911), and books written by Walter Copeland Jerrold and himself.He was also an activepainter, especially in later life, and was elected to theRoyal Institute of Painters in Water Coloursin 1932.
