Songs of Innocence - Illustrated by Honor C. Appleton

Meer over het boek

Exploring the themes of childhood and innocence, this collection features nineteen poems that celebrate the purity and joy of youth. Through works like "The Lamb" and "Nurse's Song," Blake reimagines traditional concepts of paradise and the fall, portraying childhood as a protected state rather than one of inherent sin. Accompanied by Honor Appleton's beautiful illustrations, the poems reflect on the tensions between innocence and the realities of the fallen world, offering a profound commentary on human experience.
