Traverse Library Fall book sale



My purchases - $6


A Wildflower Alphabet from 1983 is beautifully illustrated and the text completely done by hand - plus bunny drawings


Spring Gales of Nightingales from 1979 is a little book of "Ukrainian Folk Rhymes for Children" and has excellent illustrations of my favorite theme: animal/people hybrids


The Christmas Cheer is a box of three books (one is missing but was easily found on eBay) is from 1955 but republished in 1984.  Great 1950s motifs and illustrations, not to mention cocktail recipes (care for a Farmer's Bishop or Hot Grog?) and cookie recipes.  The missing third book is Christmas Recipes


The Brownies Merry Adventures book is from 1993 and has the usual cool and weird Brownie illustrations
