On the other hand, there was a wonderful retrospective of HerBlock's cartoons a few years ago and it was very satisfying.<br /><br />Lory, I know the cover of the Fireside Book so well but don't think I ever looked inside. Katrina, I suspect they were not well known outside the US but they loved to travel and were very influenced by what they saw. Apparently, their daughter has all their sketchbooks from these trips.<br /><br />Deniz, I suppose I must have seen or had their Golden Books but I just don't remember. I don't much like farm books now but I would certainly have enjoyed their farm stories as a child.CLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595294217111602231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013114232214923198.post-92091205730267813602022-05-18T07:09:55.703-04:002022-05-18T07:09:55.703-04:00Ooh, this looks like a wonderful book!

I have the Fireside Book of Folk Songs, we had one in my childhood home and then I bought my own copy later (I don't know what happened to the first one) because I was particularly attached to the illustrations. I also have their Fireside Book of Love Songs, which is even better - both the music and the illustrations are wonderful!Loryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08519976394732029323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013114232214923198.post-19116689321011646612022-05-16T10:56:51.073-04:002022-05-16T10:56:51.073-04:00If we could have a similar retrospective on the ar...If we could have a similar retrospective on the art of Joe and Beth Krush, I would be so happy.
