The Scottish artist and teacher Carton Moore Park (1877–1956) wrote and illustrated this alphabet book for older children in 1899, shortly after leaving the Glasgow School of Art. The pen and ink and grisaille (grey monochrome) drawings are anatomically accurate and seem remarkably modern, while the accompanying short texts are written with a quirky and engaging humour. Facsimile edition, with printed covers and black linen spine. Age 7+
