Definitely some great memories. I also now have several PDF copies of this book from earlier editions. While the poems are familiar, I find myself to be missing Hilda Boswell's Illustrations. They really MADE these poems come alive for me!!!Francesca Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16240118158098699822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388724101538494527.post-57445996131458351222013-12-01T19:01:58.765-05:002013-12-01T19:01:58.765-05:00That will be a great gift for your sister!

My sister had it as a child and the pages that you have posted have been a wonderful trip down memory lane. Looking-glass River was one of my favorites but I loved them all, especially the illustrations. I have found a copy on etsy and am going to order it now for my sister for her birthday. She will be 55 and I am 58. :)rooeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05145770280333100939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388724101538494527.post-6030280659966664312013-07-29T17:38:26.574-04:002013-07-29T17:38:26.574-04:00Nice to hear from you again, Barbara!Nice to hear from you again, Barbara!Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173148708338611396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388724101538494527.post-54341532655709861162013-07-24T09:37:41.451-04:002013-07-24T09:37:41.451-04:00I’ve not called in for a while because I though yo...I’ve not called in for a while because I though you were away. But I’m very glad I did call in today. I see three lovely new posts to catch up on! I’ve seen lots of copies of this book but had no idea it was once called Penny Whistles – how intriguing. I’m off to read your other posts now.
