【77位知名插畫家，150首童詩，讓文字化為清風，伴你徜徉心海，飛向畫筆勾勒出的奇幻異境 ── Over the Hills and Far Away 】

童詩是一首青澀的小曲，一段輕快的舞步，它可以憂鬱，可以有趣，有時無奈，有時快樂。童詩不僅充滿韻律感，意想不到的內容讓孩子更容易親近、喜歡閱讀。
這本書集結了77位知名的插畫家，例如像Eric Carle, Nick Sharratt, Lucy Cousins, Emily Sutton等插畫家，並由英國國家童書中心(英國兒童文學博物館)的共同創辦人Elizabeth Hammill，精挑細選150首，來自世界各國的童詩。為了支持這個計畫，插畫家們無償提供他們的畫作，並將這本書的所得收益全數捐給致力於推廣兒童閱讀的相關機構。
童書，不單單只是給孩子看的書，它的圖像超越語言，無關年齡，它的文字輕盈如雪，隨著翻開的扉頁飄進心中，帶來全新的體會。希望你打開這本書的時候，也能夠感受到這股魔力，也會為其中的美好而驚嘆。

There are 150 rhymes in this collection, from countries all over the English-speaking world, including Great Britain, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ghana, South Africa and the Caribbean. This comprehensive collection contains all the best-loved nursery rhymes, but also some new discoveries, and vibrant rhymes from Native American, First Nation, Inuit and Maori cultures. Each double-page spread is illustrated by a different artist, who has donated his or her work to the Collection or Archive at Seven Stories, Britain's National Centre for Children's Books. With 76 featured artists, this is a star-studded roll call of international award-winners and world-class bestselling illustrators, as well as young emerging talent from England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Ghana and South Africa.
