Toronto: Thomas Allen, 1952 Why in the world am I listing this? um, well it was on the radio, before TV. It takes me back about 70 years.... I can't help it, even if I cringe when I hear the music in my head. Even when I look at the picture and see an imitation, surely, of Astrid Lindgren, somehow I am listing this reading copy only (the inside is pretty good), stained book with pieces missing from the spine bottom. I think I liked the rhythm of the name, as much as anything, because for my 6th birthday, my aunt sent me a doll, blush, a black doll that she had made and I said Oh! Maggie Muggins! as soon as I saw her. These are my roots.

Gordonsville, Virginia, U.S.A.: Farrar Straus & Giroux, 2005 This is a first novel and also a tribute to the power of reading, apparently aimed at youth. It is a first edition and at the moment absolutely like new in similar jacket; however, I want to read it, so I've allowed for a bit less in terms of condition if it doesn't sell too quickly!

The story is set around the old magpie rhyme which tells fortunes by the number of birds seen, "one for sorrow, two for joy. etc." It is unfolded in the correspondence between a young girl and her grandfather and explores profound themes very simply: city, country; people, wildlife; joy and sorrow. Beautifully illustrated by Dan Williams, book is near fine, no writing or marks, clean crisp interior, good corners and binding. DJ is unclipped, has one one inch tear at front lower spine. This is a stated first edition, first printing, full number line. A treasure of a book!
