About the author
Walter Crane
618 books31 followersWalter Crane was an English artist and book illustrator. He is considered, along with Randolph Caldecott and Kate Greenaway, one of the strongest contributors to the child's nursery motif that the genre of English children's illustrated literature would exhibit in its developmental stages in the latter 19th century.
His work featured some of the more colorful and detailed beginnings of the child-in-the-garden motifs that would characterize many nursery rhymes and children's stories for decades to come. He was part of the Arts and Crafts movement and produced an array of paintings, illustrations, children's books, ceramic tiles and other decorative arts. Crane is also remembered for his creation of a number of iconic images associated with the international Socialist movement.

Oh, Goodreads, will you ever cease to amaze me?
I discovered this interesting green "read book*" button beneath the cover icon of the book I was just reviewing (Puss in Boots by Charles Perrault, illustrated by Fred Marcellino - the one that received the Caldecott Honor in 1991.)
Below the green button was an explanation that the book available was a different edition from the one I had read. So on a whim, I clicked the button and checked it out. So this review is for the ebook from The Planet, with ISBN13 9781908478184.
Lo and behold, the entire book was available right there online. Wow! So very cool. This version was illustrated by Walter Crane, and while the stories were virtually identical, the illustrations were quite different. I liked both versions, although this version gives a much older, almost Victorian feel to it.
I love this feature and once again, I am very thankful for Goodreads. It really has opened my eyes and made me so much more aware of books that I would have never discovered on my own. Thank you!

Beautifully illustrated short and little book that tells the story nicely. It's more than worth it if you can get it for 99 cents at Amazon.com, especially if you have kids you can share it with.

I read this classic fairy tale in the Classics of Children’s Literature (6th Edition) by John W. Griffith and Charles H. Frey. Published by Pearson in Upper Saddle River, NJ in 2005.
I cannot decide if the master cat is truly clever or a just a lucky con artist...either way, I suppose the youngest son benefited the most from the cat's trickery so he you couldn't call him a selfish con.

very interesting and exciting version , loved the illustration .. the English used was new and strange to me ; has this french poetic air about it but since the original author was French, this is normal:) ,,, but really liked the cleverness, intriguing events , and the meaning of it as a whole .

Read a pdf version of the 1897 book illustrated by Walter Crane from the Toronto public library. Interesting reading a book that is so hold and still has obvious similarities to today's children's books.

Thank you Goodreads for the free ebook! This was my first time to read this classic tale and I'm grateful that I had the chance to read it in technicolor! Nice job, Walter Crane! :-bd

2.5 stars. I decided to read some French fairy tales, and this was the first one available to me. It definitely wasn’t as expected, but the moral was cute!
