Have you ever watched the fairies when the rain is done...?
Rating:
5 / 5
Although the new cover looks more like a Book Of Shadows than a book of children's poems, the actual writing still has the charm of the original. Beautiful, optimistic, sentimental...a lovely trip back to what was good in my childhood.
A Wonderful World
Rating:
5 / 5
This book, a favorite in elementary school, haunted me for years...until I found a copy in a used book shop. Marvelous!
As an adult, I still return to its magic and poetry. A soothing balm for the old, cynical heart!
Beautiful Contents, Terrible Package!
Rating:
4 / 5
When Silver Pennies by Blanche Jennings Thompson was first published by The MacMillan Company in 1926, this beautiful collection of poetry for children was bound in cloth imprinted with the silhouette of a small child reaching up to the heavens towards a cascade of silver stars. The current publisher who claims a 1976 copyright is aptly named Buccaneer Books, for they have pillaged much of the charm of this book. The library cover is the dullest imaginable! For the price of this reprint, surely they could have reproduced the cover which so captured my imagination and that of so many other children in years past. I would have given this book all the stars in the world, had they kept those stars on the cover!
