I'm glad to be introduced to "Picture-Books in Winter." Beloved as picture books are today, it is striking to think of the important role they served for kids in a cold winter with fewer entertainment options. Lucky kids! I love "Sitting safe in nursery nooks" and how it is anticipated with the beautiful setting-the-scene line early on "Window robins, winter rooks."Karin Fisher-Goltonhttp://karinfisher-golton.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774409390948285794.post-68586397500015452422015-02-20T11:19:38.429-05:002015-02-20T11:19:38.429-05:00Love this, Alex: "All the pretty things put b...Love this, Alex: "All the pretty things put by,/Wait upon the children's eye," and the "Happy chimney-corner days," brings to mind times of long ago, doesn't it? I have a new home in these past two years, & miss the fireplace of my former one. Coziness is a good thing, IF you don't need to go out!
