Thanks Manikin & official for the love
Thanks, toolate, Hedge & wolcott for the L's
This is truly beautiful!
I'm amazed by the condition that it is in, considering it's age.
Wow. That is beautiful. The red spine reminds me of two books that I have, was that a common feature for childrens book of that time?
It is amazing how some things survive, especially things meant for children.

Thanks for the love, Scandi.
Thanks for the love Bellin & lolagray
