This is an older coloring book by Pomgranate (and may currently be out of print though still available through some bookstores.) The artwork is based on that of famed artist, Maxfield Parrish. The “story” is based on a nursery rhyme made famous by being included in Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and was written by Louise Saunders.

Maxfield Parrish illustrated the story which was first published in 1925. The coloring book contains 22 beautifully rendered designs converted to line drawings.

In addition to the the designs, there is a listing of the artwork included. Also included (on the inside of the front a back covers) and full color thumbnails of all of the original artwork.

The designs are open and easy to color. There is a good level of detail but they have left a lot of open area to allow you to color and add your own shading and details.
