Morrow Junior Books, 1992. 1st Edition Printing Unknown. Hardcover. As New/No Jacket. Diane Stanley. CONDITION: What makes this book "like new?" - no DJ nor credits page. UNREAD 1992 Morrow Junior Books hardcover (pictorial boards), NO DJ. Great full-page, historically accurate color illustrations by Ms Stanley. CONTENT: William Shakespeare was the son of a glovemaker, a small-town boy with a grammar school education. Yet he grew up to become the greatest English-speaking playwright in the world. Bard of Avon: The Story of William Shakespeare is both his story and that of a great art rediscovered in the modern world. Drama had been forgotten since the days of ancient Greece, but it reemerged in Elizabethan London with the building of the first modern theater. Its impact can still be imagined today.

There were the companies of actors--the leading men, the comedians, the boys… Read More

The book follows Mary's son Jesus until he is old enough to begin work in his father's carpentry shop. But this is primarily the story of Mary's own growth into a mature young woman who accepts her remarkable destiny in a society where the unusual is most often regarded as threatening more than miraculous.

Beautiful, vivid color illustrations by Joy Fisher Hein - especially the fields of Bluebonnets. Blank bookplate front loose end page and signature on the title page - it's so scribbled, can't tell if it is of the Author or Illustrator. CONTENT: Causes celebres are as commonplace among First Ladies as red suits and pearls, but few are as accessible to children as the wildflower-planting campaigns of Lady Bird Johnson. Appelt traces Johnson's botanical passions to her rural, East Texas childhood, finding parallels between the solace her subject drew from nature after her mother's death and her launch of the Highway Beautification Act to soothe a nation grieving for JFK. Psychological correlations of this sort appear throughout, and Appelt doesn't provide… Read More

Description:
Frances Foster/Farrar, Straus, 2000. 1st Edition 2nd Printing. Hardcover. New/New. Tomek Bogacki color illustrations. CONDITION: NEW 2000 Frances Foster/Farrar, Straus hardcover (dark blue boards) & dust jacket (in mylar cover), first edition, second printing). Decorated end pages. Beautiful color illustrations by the Author. CONTENT: The power of memory, not a child's garden, is chiefly the subject of this apparently autobiographical book, narrated by an adult and reflective of an adult sensibility.

Barron's Educational Series, 2014. 1st American Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/New. Gerald Kelley color illustrations. CONDITION: NEW 2014 Barron's Educational series hardcover (pictorial boards) & dust jacket, first American edition, first printing. Sweet, clever color illustrations by Gerald Kelley. CONTENT: This is sort of a "prequel" to the many "Bob" books. Inspired by the heartwarming true story of James Bowen, and his New York Times Best Seller A Street Cat Named Bob: And How He Saved My Life, this picture book explores the familiar tale from a different point of view...Bob's! James and Bob are the best of friends--everywhere James goes, Bob the cat goes with him. But life wasn't always so happy for the scarf-loving tabby. In My Name is Bob, we learn what Bob's life was like before he found James. After his world was suddenly turned upside down, Bob found himself living alone on the street. His search for a new home ended when he met James, a street musician who needed Bob just as much as… Read More
