"Four and Twenty Blackbirds" is an illustrated children's book by Randolph Caldecott, a British artist and illustrator renowned for his contributions to children's literature. The book, published in the late 19th century, is based on the traditional English nursery rhyme "Sing a Song of Sixpence," which dates back to at least the 18th century. Caldecott's work is characterized by his ability to bring stories to life through his dynamic and whimsical illustrations, which often included lively scenes and humorous details that appealed to both children and adults.

In "Four and Twenty Blackbirds," Caldecott's illustrations accompany the text of the nursery rhyme, which tells the story of twenty-four blackbirds baked in a pie, a king counting his money, a queen eating bread and honey, and a maid who encounters a blackbird that pecks off her nose. The book is part of a series of picture books that Caldecott illustrated during his career, each of which was published annually and became known as the "Randolph Caldecott's Picture Books" series.

Caldecott's work was highly influential in the field of children's book illustration, and his name is commemorated in the Caldecott Medal, a prestigious American award given annually to the most distinguished picture book for children published in the United States. "Four and Twenty Blackbirds" exemplifies Caldecott's skill in visual storytelling and his impact on the development of the picture book as a form of literary and artistic expression. The book remains a classic example of Victorian children's literature and continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and its role in the evolution of illustrated children's books.
