A Woggle of Witches, illustrated by Adrienne Adams

A Woggle of Witches - written & illustrated by Adrienne Adams (1971).

Happy Halloween!

And on the topic of witches...

The Witch Next Door, illustrated by Norman Bridwell

The Witch Next Door - written & illustrated by Norman Bridwell (1965).

The illustrations of the witch at the grocery store and moving furniture into her house remind me of Merlin's object-moving in The Sword in the Stone. Of course, everything seems to remind me of The Sword in the Stone.
 

It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown - by Charles M. Schulz, illustrations from the Bill Melendez-Lee Mendelson television production (1967).

So, these aren't "traditional" illustrations as much as stills from a film... but they are from a book & it is almost Halloween, so I thought they'd be worth a post.

What's That Noise? - written by Lois Kauffman, illustrated by Allan Eitzen (1965).

The father's snoring nose in the last picture is pretty amazing.

Handmade Houses, photographed by Barry Shapiro

Handmade Houses: A Guide to the Woodbutcher's Art - written by Art Boericke, photographed by Barry Shapiro (1973).

So far I've been posting images from my vintage children's books, but today I thought I'd feature one of my "adult" books. I'd seen images from Handmade Houses floating around on blogs / pinterest (particularly the first image - with the bed), so I was excited to find a copy of the book they came from.
