I loved the light green nursery rhyme book. I also remember the blue ome with Aesops fables. What fond memOries I have of those delightful books.Can they still be bought? Please email me if you know where I might find them. Thanks so much.

My grandmother purchased the first set in the early 40′s for my mother. My mother read from them, especially volume two, on countless occasions when I was a small boy in the 60′s. I read from these books to my two daughters in the 80′s. The second set I found at an antique shop in Dalton, GA not many years ago, but it was missing volume two…my favorite.

Thanks for sharing.

I was guided by My Bookhouse set given by my grandmother(a teacher) in 1950 or so. My daughter, when the original beautiful dark green set was given away, became enmeshed in their beauty and stories as I ordered a new set when she was young, in the seventies. She was an English major and teaches young children today;married to a swiss irish american, she appreciates all he stands for and comes from as does my son a world traveller as I was. I still have most of these books !! There was and is nothing like them!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the love lives on forever

Thank you for sharing yours. My sister and I also had a book “Carolyn and Her Friends” by Pierre Probst which went missing at some point. I have looked for a replacement, but they are terribly expensive. It was part of a series about a little girl and all of her animal friends, and the trips they took. There was never an adult – she was quite independent!
Don’t book make wonderful friends!?
Thanks for stopping and commenting.

My sisters and I had these books growing up and I read and re-read them so many times! My oldest sister came to get them and I always felt sad that I could no longer see or read them as we grew older- but dear sister that she is, came about finding a complete set and in better condition than ours-now I have my own set and my children have loved reading them-especially Little Black Sambo and the Village of Creampuffs.

Your books are beautiful with age and your love and care of them is touching. And how moving to dedicate the post to your father. Such a nice place to end my before bed blog reading—like a bedtime story, really. Thank you! TJ
