Described as a novel picture book for children, The Land of Long Ago combines nursery rhymes and fairy tales in an inventive way, as two children are led by Humpty Dumpty over a brick wall into a magical fairyland. Full page pop-up scenes illustrate the stories of Cinderella, Red Riding Hood and others, while pen and ink drawings in the text accompany the nursery rhymes incorporated into the tale of Hugh and Molly.
Published in London by Ernest Nister and in New York by E.P. Dutton & Co. Printed in Bavaria.
