I love vintage Children's books and I collect them as I see them, only the ones that really strike me. I wonder what happened to the little person they belonged to, their name written inside either scrawled in their own handwriting or written with a message of love from the people that gave it to them. What life did they lead, what life has this book lead?
I love illustrations, it is the image that grabs you before the words and these old drawings by Gustaf Tenggren from
Sing for Christmas are so sweet. They have a wonderful German appeal to them, looking like the gorgeous wooden German Christmas ornaments made by Wendt & Kuhn.
These images made me smile and so I thought I would share them. I have found them in two places, the first being the wonderful
ASIFA website, which is a treasure! And, the second being the
Golden Gems Blog.
