"Where are you going to, My Pretty Maid?" is a classic illustrated children's book by the renowned English artist and illustrator Randolph Caldecott. Published in the late 19th century, this work is part of a series of picture books that Caldecott created, which have been celebrated for their charming illustrations and engaging storytelling. Caldecott's illustrations are known for their lively and dynamic quality, capturing the essence of the characters and scenes with a sense of movement and whimsy that was innovative for the time.

The book is based on a traditional English nursery rhyme of the same name, which dates back to the 18th century. The rhyme tells the story of a young maiden who is approached by a suitor asking where she is going. The maiden responds with a series of answers that reveal her independence and self-sufficiency, ultimately leading to a gentle but firm rejection of the suitor's advances. Caldecott's adaptation of this rhyme into a picture book format brings the story to life through his detailed and expressive illustrations, which complement the text and add layers of meaning and humor.

Caldecott's work in children's literature has had a lasting impact, influencing generations of illustrators and setting a high standard for the integration of text and illustration. His ability to convey emotion and narrative through his art has made his books timeless classics. "Where are you going to, My Pretty Maid?" exemplifies Caldecott's talent for creating engaging and visually appealing stories that continue to delight readers of all ages. The book remains a testament to his skill and creativity, and it holds a cherished place in the history of children's literature.
