Childhood Memories

I used this book so much my mother had to fix the cover with glue and a piece of cotton fabric.

Ahhh...Lewis Carroll- a great treasure! Great black and white subject for the book challenge.

@skipt07 It had nursery rhymes, stories and excerpts from childrens' books. A great compilation for children. I even colored (aka scribbled) in it.
@grammyn Thank you Katy. I occasionally get it out even now.
@olivetreeann Thank you so much Ann.

It looks like it has beautiful art to accompany the poems. I had a book like that as well. I’m glad you still have yours.

[Renee Salamon]

What a beautiful shot of this book which I’m sure brings back lots of great memories

Nice memories l'm sure

I still have childhood books, wonderful things

[Susan Wakely]

Great clarity ( I had a little read) and so lovely to have.

I'm amazed that you still are able to have it. It must have had a impact on you.

@shutterbug49 I think these are fairly familiar illustrations. Some of the other illustrations in the book have a color on them and were harder to see when I photographed them. Thanks Debbie.
@rensala Thank you Renee. I'm glad I kept it.
@bkbinthecity They are.
@pusspup I think so too.
@casablanca They are. I only have one other and it's a cookbook for kids.
@wakelys Thank you. The words came out clearer than I thought they would.
@craftymeg Thank you Meg.
@mirroroflife A special book from my childhood. I'm surprised I still have it too.
@julie They are indeed.

How extraordinary that you have posted this as only this week I found my nursery rhyme book I had as a child and thought the same as you, looking at all the attempts to hold it together! Don't they have such exquisite illustrations? Nicely captured as a photograph!

[Pyrrhula]

And still you have it. How lovely.

[JackieR]

And it's still an enjoyable classic beautiful imsge

[haskar]

[Kathy A]

That’s a real treasure!

@marshwader Nice to find that we didn't give or throw everything away. Yes, the illustrations in it are great. Thank you.
@pyrrhula Thanks Ferry.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thank you Jackie. A vintage book full of classics.
@haskar Thank you Hannah.
@kjarn Thank you Kathy. I just hate there are no tots and toddlers in the family to pass it on to.
