Vintage Book Find!

 This weekend I drove my little boy and myself to my favorite second-hand bookstore in Bungendore, Australia. The owner and I chat a bit when I visit and he knows what I am interested in these days. I usually purchase vintage Australia Ladies Home Journal magazines, but I found something new entirely.

I cannot find a publishing date for The Jolly Book, but I am guessing it was in the 1940's. This is my above is a favorite illustration from the book.

This books was published in 1912 in New Jersey. The Trippertrots On Their Travels was read to children over the phone. They could call in and hear the stories.
