This book by Maud and Miska Petersham is a wonder for the eyes. I bought the Thirteenth Printing 1966 , The Macmillan Company Publisher. Every other illustration is drawn in these muted colors. I Googleg this fine husband and wife team and found several other books by them. The book was a diamond in the rough, because it was scuffed up and dirty on the outside. I am glad I opened the cover!
I'm sure you're old copy is cooler than the new one in the give!
ReplyDeleteI bet that book is just full of lovely illustrations! I've been buying alot of old books just for the illustrations inside them lately. I like to pull them out every once in a while and just look at them!
