I remember Little Golden Books but despite not owning any as a child, I still learned to love books. At some point in time the books were considered less than children's literature, but they sure opened the doors to reading for many little ones. My favorite illustrator was Eloise Wilkins whose drawings of children I adore - very unlike the illustrators you featured in this post.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249158022937816424.post-36248860884154418972010-07-25T14:37:42.356-07:002010-07-25T14:37:42.356-07:00Thanks, Martin, and happy reading!

My favorite -- which I still have -- is <i>Two Little Gardeners</i>, although in later years, I did wonder at the relationship of the two apparent children who lived together and raised all their own food.T. https://www.blogger.com/profile/16509409207991963533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249158022937816424.post-74921787259106312862010-07-25T05:31:13.877-07:002010-07-25T05:31:13.877-07:00I had loads of Golden Books!

I have a pretty good memory, but do not recall having seen any of the images from your post before. <br />I really enjoyed reading about these fascinating artists. If you had their names in your labels, you would receive many visits, I'm sure. I did a post about Errol LeCain last year and I still get the odd drop-in to it.<br /><br />KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249158022937816424.post-8488127383783505392010-07-24T20:05:34.243-07:002010-07-24T20:05:34.243-07:00I do remember the Golden Books.
