Description

I've always wanted to illustrate a children's book but have the writing talents of a slug. The various Fables and Tales I will attempt to illustrate were written by Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards and were used in a 4th grade reading book in the 1930's. She actually wrote the stories in the 1800's. Because of the latter my use of her stories does not violate any copyright laws (disclaimer for the copyright police). These illustrations are for my grandson any of your children or grandchildren. There was once a child who was untidy. He left his books on the floor, and his muddy shoes on the table; he put his fingers in the jam pots, and spilled ink on his best pinafore; there was really no end to his untidiness. One day the Tidy Angel came into his nursery. “This will never do!” said the Angel. “This is really shocking. You must go out and stay with your brother while I set things to rights here.” “I have no brother!” said the child. “Yes, you have,” said the Angel. “You may not know him, but he will know you. Go out in the garden and watch for him, and he will soon come.” “I don’t know what you mean!” said the child; but he went out into the garden and waited.

I found 141 titles for that author, all of them are out of copyright and in public domain. You could have a field day forever illustrating her books. This is a very cute illustration, you gotta love the Gumdrops.
