I read every single story many times over, and the set is among my most treasured heirlooms. I pored over Donn P. Crane's illustrations. They amplified those cherished stories in an indelible way. To put my post into a timeline, I am nearly 60 and my father was born in 1924.

I will quickly remedy that.<br />I am the author of Babylon Baroque and as you can guess a huge Crane fan. I would love to put together a complete a collection as possible of Donn's lifework. so very happy to see the see the scanned images from Book House. I have a family set, including History, but I fear they are fragile and brittle; i haven't the courage to make copies. In fact I rarely open them.Your images are of tremendous value to me and my own work.

It's fascinating, trying to determine why some amazing artists go unrecognized, and tracking down a comprehensive record of their work. The bookplates are special gifts his family must treasure, and judging from the comments in the post at Babylon Baroque, his descendants are continuing his artistic legacy. I especially love the double page spread, along with the many other illustrations you've published here, and in the past.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588164536314320479noreply@blogger.com
