Since World Poetry Day was just a couple of days ago, we thought it appropriate that this Rare Book Thursday, we shared some poetry with you all!
Spring is finally here🌷🐇🌱🪺
Happy St. Patrick's Day 🍀🇮🇪
This week in rare children's literature, we've got this little gem, The Boy Fortune Hunters in Yucatan by Floyd Akers. This particular copy is a first edition published in 1910, which makes it very special, but what you may or may not know is that Floyd Akers is actually a pseudonym for Frank L. Baum, most known for writing The Wonderful Wizard of Oz!
Me in all of my M&Q merch:
An absolutely lovely night with @hebrideanbaker, @peoplesorganiccafe and the nicest fans ever! #hebrideanbaker #indiebookstores
