The Star of Bethlehem by Frederic E. Weatherly
illustrated by M. Ellen Edwards, Vignettes by John C. Staples
A collection of poems, many of which focus on Christmas, including ‘The Carol Singers’ and ‘Santa Claus’.
Mary Ellen Edwards (‘MEE’) 1838-1934 and John C. Staples (1829-1900)
For the first fifteen years of her career, Mary Ellen concentrated principally upon illustrating adult fiction and journals. During this period Mary Ellen began illustrating children’s books, including for the favourite author of the genre of the 1860s, Mrs Gatty. But the last thirty years of her career were mainly dedicated to children’s illustrations, and some adult book fiction. From 1880 until the early 1890s, the careers of both John Staples and Mary Ellen Edwards developed principally, but not exclusively, by the illustration of childrens books by the author Frederick Edward Weatherly (1848-1929), working for the publishers Hildesheim & Faulkner.
