1973

A couple of posts ago I mention a cute little secondhand book I bought on a trip to Daylesford. Well, here it is as promised. This book is so adorable, complete with a very nicely done 'A Page to Paint', additional red line drawings and an inscription inside the front which reads, 'To Nicola, with love from Grandma and Grandpa. 18/10/73.' I think the same hand that added the extra red lines crossed out the word Nicola and replaced it with David! It's all too cute really. I do love a book with a bit of history and can only begin to imagine who Nicola and David were in the 70's. Or if David was even related to Nicola, perhaps this book has visited many families. And I wonder how many more it will see.
