I stumbled upon a box full of these great children's books at the library the other day. Cute, I thought. I looked closer. The box was marked free. Even cuter.

Now, I'll take pretty much anything that's free, but these books were an especially sweet surprise - scattered amongst the xenophobic and racist stories (of which there are aplenty, I assure you) are a plethora of great 1920s illustrations. A few favourites:

Children books are the best. Especially the old ones, the illustrations are so precious.
