The Children's Treasury, Fairy-Tales, Nursery Rhymes &Nonsense Verse edited by Alice Mills

Several weeks ago I went to my favorite second-hand bookstore for trying to find something to read. In the children's section I discovered this gem, that calling it gem is reductive, because The Children's Treasury, Fairy-Tales, Nursery Rhymes &Nonsense Verse edited by Alice Mills is the most beautiful english children's book I have ever seen since now.

The great, maniacal cure for creating with words and illustrations the best effect is very appreciated.. Illustrations accompanying verses and rhymes are extremely colored, in general illustrations are the ones of very famous children's books illustrators. Their characteristics? Being old-fashioned, cute, tender, sweet, nice like also the ones chosen for the dreaming fairy-tales. It's a joy for the eyes and for the mind this book, able to keep very cheerful adults and children. A book created with great accuracy and love by Grange Books.
