This children's book has been one of my all time very best finds.  I rooted it out of falling down stack of books in the back room of a bookstore up the valley. lol...I kind of got chewed out by the clerk for being in the back room...but that is where the bathroom was and you know...Why not look around at the stuff stacked up on your way.  I understand from Jill that this book is kind of rare so I feel very lucky to have found it.  I hope you enjoy this fantastic beautiful image.  I wonder what is in that bag don't you?  Maybe blackbirds...

Last summer my family and I visited our favorite used bookstore in Corvallis Oregon.  It is a funky old place full of stacks of books.  But those sellers are sooo savy.  Anyway...tucked way back in a room...(because it is like a labyrinth) I found this old book on top of a stack.  My heart raced as I looked through it.  What beautiful illustrations... What a beautiful children's book.  The title is A Baby's Opera  The Book of Old Rhymes With New Dresses By Walter Crane.
I hope you enjoy these pages as much as I do...I am in the process of scanning them and cleaning them up (a new trick I have learned).  I thought these would make such beautiful angels for the holidays.
