(See Latimore & Haskell, Rackham Bibliography, 1936; pp. 48-49 for the 1918 edition). "As the close of his life approached, Swinburne frequently expressed his intention to extract from his various volumes those poems which were addressed to children, or were descriptive of child life, and to publish them in a separate collection.

We are fortunate in having secured, in Mr. Arthur Rackham, one whose delicate and romantic fancy is in sensitive harmony with Swinburne's, and who understands, no less than he did, how 'Heaven lies about us in our infancy.'
