An oldie, but goodie. I never tire of delving into this timeless volume. 12 months of a year in the English countryside are chronicled; handwritten text and lovely watercolours and sketches of nature in all her abundant glory. Edith Holden penned this delightful diary over 100 years ago and yet it remains as fresh and lovely as a budding daffodil or the spring song of the thrush on the green.

The Easy Drawing BookBefore Ed Emberley and his thumbprints, before Lee J. Ames and "Draw 50..." there was Peter White's little, unassuming The Easy Drawing Book. First published in the early 1950's he taught tens of thousands of youngsters how to draw "all the things you see everyday and many, many more". I picked up my current copy from Amazon where you'll find them ranging from $.01 upwards. It's fun, it's instructive, it's The Easy Drawing Book.
