Once more an item received with another auction win. Jimmy Stewart is on my list of favorite actors so I thought this book was a neat find. It is only 31 pages long and contains only 4 poems but I think it's somewhat unusual. Not very old, as published in 1989, but still a keeper.

Thank you BELLIN68!
My favorite Actor! Favorite Movie--It's a Wonderful Life!! AWESOME FIND!!
Thank you for the love musikchoo. And I'm glad to show you a little bit of another of Mr. Stewart's talents.
I never knew that he wrote poetry! He did many things well.
I wonder if his dog was really named Beau ??
Thanks for the memories, mrmajestic! I can still remember him reading the poem about Beau on Johnny Carson 31 years ago. So, yes musikchoo, I believe he really did have a dog named Beau. He is one of my favorite actors too. I rarely miss one of his movies on TCM. Hi miKKo! I've been busy lately and haven't been on in a bit. Hope all is well with you. Here is Jimmy reading this poem on the Tonight Show if you'd like to have a listen. :-) Just have a hankie close at hand.
