3 Muses!

I am simply going to share one of my favorite books and some pictures.
No altering!
It was my mom's.
I know you will enjoy the illustrations.

Wow, your mother's book took me back to my own childhood when I was a proud owner of a beautifully illustrated "Arabian Nights". Thanks for the great memories, Peggy.
