"April Baby's Book of Tunes: Mary Mary Quite Contrary" is a children's book illustrated by the renowned English artist and writer Kate Greenaway. Published in the late 19th century, this work is part of Greenaway's legacy in the realm of children's literature, where she gained prominence for her delicate and charming illustrations that often depicted idyllic scenes of childhood and nature.

The book itself is a collection of nursery rhymes and songs, with "Mary Mary Quite Contrary" being one of the featured pieces. This particular nursery rhyme is a traditional English poem known for its rhythmic and somewhat mysterious verses. Greenaway's interpretation of the rhyme would typically be accompanied by her distinctive illustrations, which were known for their soft pastel colors, attention to detail, and the depiction of children in Regency-era clothing.

Kate Greenaway's work was influential in the Victorian era, and her style contributed to a change in the design of children's books, making them more visually appealing and accessible to young readers. "April Baby's Book of Tunes" would have been part of this movement, as it not only provided entertainment through its verses but also through the visual storytelling of its illustrations.

The book would likely have been published by Frederick Warne & Co, the publishing house with which Greenaway had a longstanding relationship, and which also published her famous "Under the Window" (1879), one of the earliest commercially successful children's picture books.

As a piece of children's literature, "April Baby's Book of Tunes: Mary Mary Quite Contrary" represents both the cultural heritage of English nursery rhymes and the artistic achievements of Kate Greenaway. Her work remains significant in the study of children's book illustration and the development of the genre.
