I had a wonderful children’s book (maybe from the 40’s??)
Hard cover, lighter green embossed cover. Larger dimensions than a regular book.
It was not very thick (maybe an inch or two??)
It was filled with fables, short stories, poems and nursery rhymes
I remember It included “Pandora’s box”, a poem about “who loved mother best” and “the land of counterpane” among many others
I lost it many years ago.
I would do love to know what it was called do I might try to find it again...
sounds like Rudyard Kipling’s A Child’s Garden of Verses. Especially the land of the counterpane.
A Child’s Garden of Versus is by Robert Louis Stevenson, and includes the poem with the land of counterpane.
A Child’s Garden of Verses is by Robert Louis Stevenson.
Robert Louis Stevenson, not Rudyard Kipling.
No, but thank you. It was a compilation…
The Tall Book of Make Believe?
“The Illustrated Treasury of Children’s Literature” edited by Margaret E. Martignoni, 1955. Definitely has “The Land of Counterpane” and “Pandora.” 512 pages.
