"Cinderella" A Living Story Book (Shiba Productions, 1967) Japanese puppet book

This book sold so fast, it made my head spin.  It is part of a set of Japanese puppet fairy tale books. Thought it would be fun to share the photos.

Vintage 1949 "Five Go To Smuggler's Top" by Enid Blyton [#4 of The Famous Five Series]

Julian, Dick, George and Anne didn't in the least like the idea of spending part of their Easter holiday with strangers.  But George was most dismayed of them all, for Father told her Timmy could not go with them.  Mr. Lenoir hated dogs - and George was sure then she would hate him too!

His house, Smuggler's Top, sounded exciting, and it was.  It did not take the children long to find out that strange things still happened there.  The holiday became a great adventure.  And Timmy played a part in it, after all.

Vintage 1976 Wallace Tripp book: "Granfa' Grig Had a Pig and Other Rhymes Without Reason from Mother Goose"

I was so excited to find this book by Wallace Tripp.  I have been looking for this author forever but I didn't know his name.  His detailed and humorous drawings of animals have stuck in my mind since childhood. Even if you don't buy the book, it's fun to look at the photos.
