The book I am looking for I believe was written in the late 70’s early 80’s. It had purple hard cover and I think it was about a witch on a hill? The images were mostly black silhouettes.

If I remember correctly, the children’s story is a short-story which was part of a larger book which contained many different stories. It may even be true, or based on a true story. It was read to me in the 1970s. It is the story of a flood from a nearby reservoir’s dam breaking, and a smart, resourceful mother who protects and saves her little children by climbing onto tables, then top of bookcase/cabinet, then eventually sawing through ceiling and placing them in attic, (or maybe outside)?. The story had at least once hand drawn black & white

Pre 1970, fairly large format, color illustrated (vintage style) children’s book of fairy tales/nursery rhymes contains a story with an old woman baking a cake for a young male. Cake has prominent tubular peaks covering the surface. I think the illustration was on a left-hand page.

This book starts off with the facts that all the superheroes are dead  but Peter Pan is alive and so is the unknown hero of the book. I think the book was out in the 70’s or 80’s. It was a comedy. Is there any idea the name of it?

BC alphabet book from the 1980's. Soft cover, probably a burgundy colour. Place names from British Columbia, e. g. : Annie from Abbotsford, and then a little story about that. Bought for my son who was born 1982 so could've been published in the 70's? I believe he received it when he was 4 or 5 years old.

I’m looking for a paperback book I read in the late 70s possibly the very earlier 80s. The book was non fiction, written about the murder of a woman’s teenage (she may have been in her early 20s) daughter. The mother solved the murder by receiving what she believed were messages from her dead daughter. The murderer was her daughter’s boyfriend (husband).

I am looking for a children’s book that I read to my son in the late 70’s.  It is about a vulture.  My vague recollection is that the vulture goes into business but keeps messing up by doing things like eating up all of the inventory etc.  He has other animal character friends that help him out.  It may have been a series of books about these animal characters.  The title could have been something like “Vulture eats the Profits “.
Any help that you can give me would be highly appreciated.   The book has sentimental value.
