Topsys & Turvys
by Peter Newell
(cover missing, image
is of title page)
|
Found this book with no cover in
with many other old family
books. As indicated by the inscription, it was apparently given
to my grandfather Benjamin Prescott Burpee (1889-1958) in 1893, when he was 4 years old.
See also another charming family treasure,
almost 200 years old, called WINTER,
published in 1825 and
The Birds' Christmas Carol, 1929, owned by my mother. |

The reader would read the text at the bottom. Then
he would flip the book
to read the
rest of the rhyme and see what the picture becomes. Very clever!
