On a recent outing to Neath, I visited a few of the second-hand shops there - in search of books and other vintage paraphernalia. One of the loveliest things I found that day was this sweet little hardback.
A Book of Toys
Written and illustrated by Gwen White.
I also happen to own the postcard of the book, which was issued by Penguin among a box filled with many other book-cover postcards.
The book itself, although bowed, is in a really great condition...
and the illustrations within are all crisp and clear.
I've been tempted to hold on to this because I'd never actually seen one before, nor am I likely to see one again, but I have to be ruthless sometimes, and just stop hoarding so many books!
It's now available in My Etsy Shop.
