I'm sneezing right now after photographing these! Here is a sampling. My grandmother kept everything. The oldest is The Blue Fairy Book - somewhere in the late nineteenth century. Pretty cool to open these and see her doodles. She would go on to earn her Master's in Art, teach, and produce a multitude of original artwork. Priceless. Literally, it was all for us. She sold the occasional piece when someone begged her with the right offer, but she didn't like to part with it. We have it all.

The Chatterbox was a popular Anthology for children. This one was published in 1929.

Treasure Island - 1911

Arabian Nights

You are also seeing part of my Shakespearean collection, Grimm's Fairy Tales

Thank you grandma! (we called her Rita)
