Mary Mary Quite Contrary
Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary
Illustrator / Author: Henriëtte Willebeek Le Mair Publisher: Frederick Warne (Penguin Group) Language: English Year: 1999

Henriëtte Willebeek Le Mair (1889–1966) was a Dutch illustrator celebrated for her delicate watercolor style and serene depictions of childhood innocence. Deeply influenced by French artist Louis-Maurice Boutet de Monvel, her works evoke quiet grace and nostalgia that have charmed readers for over a century. Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary gathers beloved English nursery rhymes, tenderly illustrated in Le Mair’s signature soft palette and timeless compositions — a beautiful reflection of early 20th-century European children’s art.

Condition: Very Good + — A beautifully preserved vintage copy with clean, crisp pages and a bright cover. Light signs of prior handling. A small tear is present at the lower-left corner of the cover, as shown in photos, but overall condition remains excellent for its age.
