EDITORS COMMENTS
: An Illustration from the Children's Story, "Harry and Herodotus," or Tales of an Old Traveller (1900) This illustration depicts a piper named Harry, sitting on a rock by the seashore, intently playing his musical instrument. With a hopeful expression, he believes that the fish in the sea will leap and dance to the rhythm of his melody, as depicted in the children's story "Harry and Herodotus," or "Tales of an Old Traveller." However, as he plays, nothing happens, and the fish remain hidden beneath the waves. Frustrated, Harry decides to catch some fish in a net and drags them ashore. To his surprise, the fish begin to leap and dance on the rocky shore, creating an enchanting spectacle. Yet, the piper, now uninterested, turns away from the scene, perhaps longing for the magic of the fish's spontaneous performance. This illustration, created in 1900, is a beautiful representation of the whimsical tale penned by Walter de la Mare and illustrated by Randolph Caldecott. The story, filled with folklore and magic, captivates the imagination of young readers and invites them to explore the wonders of the natural world. The illustration, featuring a quaint, little musical musician and his pipe, is reminiscent of the works of Randolph Caldecott and showcases the intricate details of the fish leaping and dancing on the shore. This timeless image is a delightful addition to any collection of children's literature or illustration.
