Story time takes on a special dimension this time of year.
How many times have you said, or heard it said, that young people bring something magic to the celebration?
. . . For goodness sake.
Written by Cynthia Paterson and illustrated by Brian Paterson, a British picture book from the Foxwood Tales series, 1998, now out of print. I acquired mine when it was first published, but they are collectible now and the only used copies I found on Amazon started at $143.00! I consider them worth the price, however. The adventure tales are well told, and the illustrations transcendent.
Thanks for the visit!
I always love it when you stop by!
Ciao! for now!

ReplyDeleteLovely post and I love the crocheting on the little ladies skirts.

Love the beautiful pink crochet and embroidery! The book is sweet and adorable, too. I'm so glad I have some of my grandchildren nearby. They've helped decorate, and we've gotten out old Christmas books to read together, snuggled on the sofa. I suppose I'd do it for me if they weren't here, but having them certainly adds a sweetness I love! Have a lovely weekend!
