My mom gave me one of her childhood books when I was a kid. It’s one of my favorite books I had while growing up. And I love that it has her name written on the first page in her handwriting!

I can remember marveling at the strangeness of some of it, and the beauty of the drawings. For some reason, I remember most of all Merlin and two dragons fighting. It was epic and wonderful!

I don’t remember if I read it from cover to cover or only in bits and pieces, but I loved it. I still do! It is a wonderful book and beautifully made. The art is incredible, and even the physical aspects, like its binding and printing and paper, are beautifully crafted. It truly is the kind of book one wants to pass on.
