A book we had as kids. Inside, as part of the story, it shows you how to sew a Jack doll!

The Mysterious Tadpole by Stephen Kellogg is a brilliant book.
I'd forgotten that my childhood copy had an extra illustration on the back that showed a bit more of the story!
The first copies of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings that I read -- my father's copies!
And now, a new book!
Poems by 19th century poet Elizabeth Siddal
Photographs by Kyle Cassidy
The number 53!

Comments
I gave away a bunch of childhood books once as a teenager, and regretted it almost immediately, so I've hung on to every book since! <3
