i have been searching for this book for TWO YEARS and i finally found it, thanks to my mom remembering the name of more than one of the stories inside. it was hers as a little girl and she gave it to me, and somewhere between my teen and college years, it disappeared... but now that i know what it is, i'm buying a copy to make sure i have it when little bean is born.
the once-upon-a-time story book, by rose dobbs. 1958.
and this book below was always one of my favorites when i was little, because it's broken into days with a piece of a story each day of the year, and it has some really cool/creepy illustrations in it. i still have my copy, but i thought i'd share anyway. (the funniest thing is i read it a few years ago after not looking at it since i was 8, and 90% of the stories make NO sense. there are absolutely no clear morals, and sometimes the suggestion is so confusing that i finished feeling disturbed by what seemed to be the message. i have come to believe that that is a result of a really wretched translation. good thing kids don't know any better!)
