As well as illustrating books Greenaway produced a number of bookplates.
"Kate Greenaway" children, all of them little girls and boys too young to be put in trousers, were dressed in her own versions of late eighteenth century and Regency fashions: smock-frocks and skeleton suits for boys, high-waisted pinafores and dresses with mobcaps and straw bonnets for girls. The influence of children's clothes in portraits by British painter John Hoppner (1758–1810) may have provided her some inspiration. Liberty of London adapted Kate Greenaway's drawings as designs for actual children's clothes. A full generation of mothers in the liberal-minded "artistic" British circles who called themselves "The Souls" and embraced the Arts and Crafts movement dressed their daughters in Kate Greenaway pantaloons and bonnets in the 1880s and 1890s. The style was often used by painter Maude Goodman in her depictions of children.
The Medal is named after the 19th-century English illustrator of children's books Kate Greenaway (1846–1901). It was established in 1955 and inaugurated next year for 1955 publications, but no work was considered suitable. The first Medal was awarded in 1957 to Edward Ardizzone for Tim All Alone (Oxford, 1956), which he also wrote. That first Medal was dated 1956. Only since 2007 the Medal is dated by its presentation during the year following publication. The Greenaway is a companion to the Carnegie Medal which recognises one outstanding work of writing for children and young adults (conferred upon the author).
Nominated books must be first published in the U.K. during the preceding school year (September to August), with English-language text if any.
Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps is a Britishcomedytelevision seriessitcom that ran from 26 February 2001 to 24 May 2011 and starred Sheridan Smith, Will Mellor, Ralf Little, Natalie Casey, Kathryn Drysdale and Luke Gell. Created and written by Susan Nickson, it is set in the town of Runcorn in Cheshire, England, and originally revolves around the lives of five twenty-somethings. Little departed after the airing of the sixth series with Smith and Drysdale leaving following the airing of the eighth series. The ninth and final series had major changes with new main cast members and new writers.
The core cast have been augmented by various recurring characters throughout the series, including Beverly Callard, Lee Oakes, Hayley Bishop, Alison Mac, Thomas Nelstrop and Jonathon Dutton. The show was first broadcast in 2001 on BBC Two. The title was inspired by the 1980 hit single “Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps Please” by Splodgenessabounds. On 23 July 2011, it was confirmed that the series would not be returning due to BBC Three wanting to make room for new comedies and feeling that the series had come to a natural end following the departures of most of the main cast members.

The idyllic and pastoral worlds created by Victorian-era author and illustrator Kate Greenaway had tremendous impact on not only children's literature, but also children's fashion, both in Greenaway's home pastures of England, and across the pond in America.
When exploring Greenaway's art, it is impossible not to notice both how carefree, content and happy the children she created were, and the exquisite detail she paid to their clothes. Greenaway had such a specific vision in her mind that she designed these old-fashioned children's clothes herself and often had children pose for drawings in them. Smocked dresses and frocks, bonnets and straw hats, loose muslin dresses and more - the overwhelming sensation evoked by these clothes was one of innocence and simplicity.
Greenaway portrayed the rural life of a country child as so idyllic and romanticized that urban, fashionable city folk of the time took up the romanticized version of reality and began adopting into their own fashion.
The aesthetic of dressing little girls in a manner hearkening back to the more simple days of their grandparents became so popular that a prominent English department store, Liberty's of London, developed a clothing line directly inspired by Greenaway's art, and mothers and fathers alike delighted in the return to old-fashioned, hyper-modest dress.
Quaint and dainty became the fashion words of the moment for children's-wear, and the fact that Greenaway's drawings were historically inaccurate to the period did nothing to dissuade or alienate readers - on the contrary, they pronounced her outdated creations "charming", and the strange fashion choices seemed to increase the appeal of her stories for many audiences.

"Kate Greenaway" children, all of them little girls and boys too young to be put in trousers, were dressed in her own versions of late eighteenth century and Regency fashions: smock-frocks and skeleton suits for boys, high-waisted pinafores and dresses with mobcaps and straw bonnets for girls.

A full generation of mothers in the liberal-minded "artistic" British circles who called themselves "The Souls" and embraced the Arts and Crafts movement dressed their daughters in Kate Greenaway pantaloons and bonnets in the 1880s and 1890s. The style was often used by painter Maude Goodman in her depictions of children.
