Burne-Jones lavishes affectionate letters to his young daughter Katie over a period of twenty years, from 1849 to 1859. The artist's delightful and sometimes fanciful drawings accompany each letter, depicting Katie in various situations and activities. Burne-Jones frequently reflects on his own childhood and the joys and trials of raising a daughter, and his letters are a charming and poignant record of one father's love for his daughter.; 95 pages.
