I am trying to identify one or two books from the following two images (I cannot remember if they are clues to two books or if they are both from the same one.)
I remember a rather thick book with a mix of fairy stories, myths & legends from around the world, probably printed in the 1970’s or 1980’s. (I was born in 1981.)
The first image is of my Grandma reading us a book, although it is blurry.
The second image, is a sketch by me of a calligraphy detail in the book, on a title page, I think, which I loved to trace as a child.
I am trying to identify the book(s) represented in each of these photographs, whether they are one in the same or two similar books with collections of stories. If you could help solve the mystery, I would be much obliged.
Please find the two picture clues below:
Oh my goodness!
I can’t believe it. This is the book I’m searching for too. It also had incantations.
I’m sure the cover was pale creamy yellow, with some sort of Mandela thing or amulate on the cover.
Have you found anything out yet?
I have not found anything, but if I do, I will let you know. The hardcover book I am searching for is a book of stories, and the cover had an illustration as you can partially see in the 1st picture. I thought the calligraphy of the 2nd pic was from the same book, but it may resemble something in another book. I’ll write if I ever figure it out.
Total shot in the dark – could this be part of the Disney hardback series of fairy tales and stories? Here’s the set of them?
Definitely not, unfortunately. But thanks very much for your help. X
