In the Nursery of My Book House 33rd printing, 1950

Item Details

Description

This copy of "In the Nursery of My Book House" from 1950 is a beautiful piece of art. There is significant wear to the cover photo, and signs of use around the edges and binding. There are also a few tears in the book, some of which were previously repaired. Despite its signs of age, the art and accompanying stories are classic and mesmerizing. The colors seem to leap off the page. This would be a great purchase for a collector, or someone looking for amazing vintage pieces for a child's room!
