Enola ("alone" spelled backwards) is a much younger sister of Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes. Raised by their Suffragist mother she lives in London, always dodging the brothers who try to get her to attend a proper girls school. Great fun.

KEEPSAKE BOX: Tibor Gergely, The Chief Is On His Way 12 $18.00 Tibor Gergely, Hungarian Jewish artist probably most famous for his wonderful illustrations for Golden Books, is my inspiration for a series of Keepsake Boxes. I use tattered old books, and yes, some of them are still being published after all these years,. I make the pages into the covers of the boxes. I’m fascinated by the power and beauty of the Gergely illustrations at the moment. Each box is hand made in Vermont of Vermont pine.

Tik-Tok Man of Oz. Tik Tok didn't really (really? Well, really in fiction) look like this. The character here looks more like the Tin Man. Tik Tok was rotund.

Alice and Martin Provensen, Golden Treasury of Myths and Legends, 1959
THE LITTLE HORSE BUS (1952) was the third picture book created by Graham Greene and Dorothy Glover (who published as Dorothy Craigie). Because there was such a long lag time between when their second book The Little Red Fire Engine was composed and when it was published, the two books appeared in the same year. (For more information on Greene and Glover's personal lives, and the circumstances around the delay of The Little Red Fire Engine, see my previous posts here and here.) After Glover's death, the book was re-illustrated in 1974 by Edward Ardizzone. While some of the behavior in the first two books might border on criminal, it is here that Greene first brings an actual crime to his children's work.
Famous American Negroes (1956) is the first of three books that Langston Hughes (1902-1967) wrote for the Dodd, Mead & Company Famous Books series of nonfiction for children. For more information on Langston Hughes's children's books, see : wetoowerechildren... bel/Langston%20Hu...
William Maxwell (1908-2000) was the fiction editor at The New Yorker from 1936-1975. The Heavenly Tenants (1946) is the first of two books Maxwell wrote for children. In it, when the Marvell family goes on vacation, the signs from the zodiac come down from the sky to look after their farm. Ilonka Karasz (1896-1981) was an illustrator and designer whose work includes 187 covers for The New Yorker. For more information on The Heavenly Tenants, see: wetoowerechildren....

The Saucy Cockle (1957) is a children's picture book by Dorothy Craigie. Dorothy Craigie was the pseudonym used by the artist Dorothy Glover. Glover is best remembered now as the one-time lover of Graham Greene with whom she lived for almost ten years.

The World Is Round. By Gertrude Stein. Illustrated by Clement Hurd.
In his lifetime, Aldous Huxley was considered one of the great thinkers, a man who preached pacifism, the mystical possibility of sensual experience beyond that of the five senses, and the value of hallucinogenics to enter ecstatic states. Best known for his novel Brave New World (1932), Huxley wrote eleven novels, plus short stories, poetry, essays (one collection, The Doors of Perception, famously lent its name to the rock band The Doors), dramas, screenplays, and one piece for children The Crows of Pearblossom (written in 1944, published posthumously in 1967).
FOR LANGSTON HUGHES'S THIRD ENTRY in the First Books series, he turned his attention to a subject that was of great importance to him: jazz. It was the first children's book to examine the "American music," and Hughes felt the responsibility. As he wrote in a letter to Arna Bontemps, "what I really know about Jazz would fill a thimble!," and so he made sure that the text was reviewed by Dave Martin, Marshall Stearns, John Hammond, and other jazz experts. To his editor Helen Hoke, he confessed that The First Book of Jazz was "just about the toughest little job I've ever done."
