My holiday catalog is filled with mostly recent arrivals, starting with a nice selection of alphabet books including a nice copy of a Mickey Mouse ABC. I was thrilled to find an exceptionally nice copy of Evelyn Stuart Hardy's iteration of Hans Andersen's Fairy Tales, plus the slip cased, limited edition of the Holiday House Thumbelina and Tom Thumb. A book that brought great amusement was Joseph Green Francis' Book of Cheerful Cats. I stumbled upon a biology notebook from 1950 that was created by a local woman when she was a senior in high school. Her name was Anna Ginty (married name Conroy) and she took detailed notes, added diagrams and anatomical drawings...it's a little different than what I usually look for but it was fascinating to me, so I had to pick it up. I am thrilled (and a little reluctant, because I love it) to offer a copy of Picture for Harold's Room by Crockett Johnson which is also inscribed by him to a fellow children's book creator, Elizabeth Ring (Hennefrund). A book I haven't seen in over a decade crossed my threshold. Twice!: Now Open the Box by Dorothy Kunhardt. As a final mention: a dear little Christmas-themed book made it into the catalog, Santa Claus Bears by Dorothy Sherrill, it's small, precious and in superb condition. Enjoy!

This is a shorter catalog than normal with just over 100 books including some lovely alphabet books, a number of Caldecott Award and Honor titles, including The Undefeated which also received a Newbery Honor. Of special note is a boxed edition of Johnny Gruelle's Magical Land of Noom; a first edition of Beatrix Potter's Ginger & Pickles and an unused Painting & Drawing Book with the Tale of Peter Rabbit. I am happy to offer a lovely first edition of the groundbreaking, Stonewall Award Winning, Julian is a Mermaid by Jessica Love; it's a gorgeous book. I am also offering a number of relatively recent titles culled from my personal collection because I found a few duplicates and also, I need to make room!
