Jake’s grandmother has discovered my love of old children’s books, and was extremely gracious enough to give me one from her own collection.
Published in 1930, the book is fairly worn and is definitely showing it’s years. One day I may have it re-bound, but of course the wear and tear does nothing but pull on my heartstrings.
Inside, there are many plates of wonderful mono-tone and full color illustrations by Ben Kutcher.
“The Snow Queen”
“The Snow Queen”
“The Snow Queen”
“The Bell”
“The Nightingale”
Here are a couple of the full color plates:
“The Mermaid”
“The Girl Who Trod on a Loaf”
Many thanks goes out to Georgia for giving me this wonderful book. My collection happily groweth.
The Snow Queen illustrations are lovely. Excellent find.
