A little about the story
Three picture books in one: Sing a Song of Sixpence, with its pie of blackbirds and a queen in her parlour; Princess Belle-Etoile, a fairy tale of a princess, a dove and the dancing water; and an Alphabet of Old Friends, full of nursery rhyme characters.
Walter Crane's bold, colourful pictures make every page a delight. A treasure for picture-book lovers.
