Kate Greenaway

Quite a lot of the games I remember from my own childhood, though they're all older than that. I don't know when the book was originally published, but Greenaway died in 1901.None of the games need much by way of material, which says a lot about the period when they were originally recorded.The illustrations, as one would expect, are charming.

Nice pictures, old fashioned games. Sometimes so old that they just seem strange, not fun. If you are studying colonial or pioneer days, these are nice to have.
