Randolph Caldecott: The Man Who Could Not Stop Drawing Details
Randolph Caldecott is best known as the namesake of the award that honors picture book illustrations, and in this inventive biography, leading children’s literature scholar Leonard Marcus examines the man behind the medal. In an era when the steam engine fueled an industrial revolution and train travel exploded people’s experience of space and time, Caldecott was inspired by his surroundings to capture action, movement, and speed in a way that had never before been seen in children’s picture books. Thoroughly researched and featuring extensive archival material and a treasure trove of previously unpublished drawings, including some from Caldecott’s very last sketchbook, Leonard Marcus’s luminous biography shows why Caldecott was indeed the father of the modern picture book and how his influence lives on in the books we love today.

A great book; great service, too!
By OmaT
I already had read this book, so I knew what I was getting -- or thought I did. I was not disappointed. It arrived in perfect condition, in the usual rapid fashion, and is the same book that I was so eager to get. It does not feel like a children's book to me, although that is how it is billed. It was great to learn more about Mr. Caldecott, because of the awards that are so familiar to those of us who have used the children's section of the library so frequently.
