    About this ebook

    "Queen Summer; Or, The Tourney of the Lily and the Rose" by Walter Crane may be a short book, but it's a beautiful one that was almost lost to time. A short story where flowers are knights and Summer is queen, this book is accentuated with gorgeous illustrations that help bring the magic and whimsy of the story to life. It would be too simple to classify this book as a children's story when readers of all ages have been captivated by its charm for many years.

    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.
