The Child's Garden of Verses are books I loved as a child. Stevenson's poems are wonderfu. My favorite is The Swing. The front book is copyright 1905 and the one behind with the great illustrations is 1934.









It's been awhile since I posted any goings on here. These are only some of the books and pamphlets I found. I probably got these maybe September when Dave was in the hospital, and I found this little shop nearby the hospital. The shop is called NEW AGAIN kinda cute, huh. It supports women shelters.

Love those vintage children's books, MB! I collect them as well. I've always been a nut for childrens literature. Should have been a librarian!

Blessings,
