On a very rainy day the weekend before last, Daniel and I drove to Hilton Head Island and found a great thrift store with the most amazing book section. Daniel zeroed in on the "special" books and we came away with some amazing illustrated treasures for just a few dollars! A copy of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, illustrated by Isabel Bishop,
a copy of The Story of Renard the Fox by J. W. von Goethe, illustrated (wood engravings) by Fritz Eichenberg,
... a copy of The Ballad of Reading Gaol by Oscar Wilde, illustrated (lithographs) by Zhenya Gay,
and a gorgeous copy of The Coronation Edition (published at the coronation of Elizabeth II) of The Faerie Queen by Edmund Spenser with illustrations (wood engravings) by Agnes Miller Parker.
What wonderful treasures have you found when you were least expecting to?
