Her appendix A will be of great help to scholars who want to know which Victorian periodicals (1875-1900) reviewed children's books. Her appendix B provides selected obituaries and memorials of the triumvirate. (Readers who want the most complete overview of Lundin's book might, after reading the introduction and chapter 1, Victorian Horizons, take the unusual step of reading the Conclusions chapterÂwhere additional motives and purposes are discov-eredÂ-before progressing to the chapters on the three authors.) Chapter 1 defines reception theory and establishes how the author will use it in her study, including documentary evidence from some seventy-five Victorian periodicals. In this chapter, Victorian Horizons, the author also discusses the key points that made up the Victorian horizons for children's books: in his debt in terms of influence (227). All three seemed to have felt uneasy about having their art brought together under the name of one color printer. Certainly modern collectors of prints, who collect the three as graphic artists without regard for their text, often think of Crane as belonging to the school of art nouveau, Caldecott as a cartoonist, even a caricaturist, and Greenaway as the quintessential "sentimental children's artist." For readers who prefer to see the three in more critical terms, and in a context both of their own time and ours, Lundin's book as a whole offers what we need for that, and her concluding chapter brings the three Victorian authors into the context of current illustrated children's books.

More often than not, my instinctive choice of composer or musical form for the day has the galvanizing effect of making me conscious of my direction. I find something uncanny in the way a musical phrase, a sensuous vocal line, or a patch of Wagnerian color will clarify an entire approach or style for a new work. . . . Music's peculiar power of releasing fantasy has always fascinated me. An inseparable part of my memories of childhood, music was the inevitable, animating accompaniment of make-believe. . . . The spontaneous breaking into song and dance seems so natural and instinctive a part of childhood. (4)

In doing so, he eagerly dealt with his own life, his anxieties and joys, and focused on the importance of art to a child's life.
