Remember these? Little Golden books launched back in 1942 and were 25 cents each. I have purchased this collection over the years, and they come in handy for two reasons: 1. When small people are visiting us, I have an impressive and entertaining book collection. And 2. The enchanting illustrations make great birthday cards for young and old. Don't fancy a trawl around a book market? Your local Angus & Robertson sell the re-launched 'classic' range of books with all the original illustrations.
These books are a favourite of mine. I'm still trying to track down an original copy of the Polky Little Puppy. Brings back so many memories from my childhood!
ReplyDeleteI have quite a collection too :) Sourced from the local tip of all places!

ReplyDeleteOh I love these! I've collected a few "early readers", but I can't bring myself to take pages out. You've inspired me to give it a whirl. I lover your style!
