A children's picture book of games published in London, Glasgow, Manchester and New York in 1889, with illustrations by Kate Greenaway and colour printing by Edmund Evans for George Routledge and Sons. Its pictures show children at play in gardens, yards and streets, drawn in soft, rounded figures with simple flat colour and pale backgrounds, a model for designers wanting gentle, period nursery imagery with clear costume shapes such as bonnets, pinafores and straw hats.
