was lucky to be raised in a house full of books. 
My mother was a children's librarian and she was the daughter of an antiquarian bookseller. 
This meant that we had a lot of lovely old children's books hanging around - books that weren't appropriate for my grandmother's business that were scooped by my mother because she loved them.

I love them too.



I'm sharing here some pictures and stories from books that are now out of copyright. Enjoy.

just 'cause 

Lots of cute products made from high res versions of these pictures here.

These things are fun. And fun is good.
