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?
The book is adult fiction. Set in Australia, or somewhere near there, in the early 1900s?? A young woman is married to an abusive older man. She murders him, hides his body in their basement, and then burns down the house. She then goes on the lam, and at one point, meets up with a group of cattle thieves. She tags along with them/works with them. Eventually, the authorities catch up to her, but she runs away again.
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.
Looking for the title of an illustrated children’s picture book published in the mid-1950s to 1960 or so. It was about a dog (possibly named George, possibly a poodle?). My husband’s family recalls nothing about the story except the refrain, repeated throughout the book, “(But) It was his home, and he liked it there.
There’s this picture book I swear my grandmother had. I believe it had 4-5 stories of motorized things. A tractor maybe, a dirigible, a firetruck, etc. I vividly remember the firetruck story. Burning building collapsed, bricks walls fell down, the fireman survived by laying under the truck. The tires all blew but the engine kept running, eventually the firetruck and fireman were both dug out. Was this a dream or is this a real book? It was probably published in the 50s. I remember it being ancient when I was a 70s kid.
