Sigh, it’s dreamy. Certainly, being discarded from the library doesn’t mean to trash it, just no longer keep it as part of the collection. Lucky us! At our library, the stamp says either “discarded” or “cancelled.” My childhood favorite edition of Child’s Garden of Verse is the Gyo Fujikawa one though. Love his round, adorable kids.

I found your blog while I was blog hopping about, and I read about your find. I just received in the mail today, my 1932 edition of Robert Louis Stevenson’s “A Child’s Garden of Verses” illustrated by Eulalie Banks. The illustrations she made are charming too, although quite a bit different in style. I have begun amassing a treasure trove of vintage books (most are from the 50’s) and I tell my husband I need them because I have started homeschooling our two youngest (of four) children. They like the books, but not as much as I do. Which is quite all right with me, because truth be told, they were really for me anyway!;) Thank you for the lovely post and fun blog!
