An A to Z of children’s names, complete with illustrations of their final moments, all narrated in rhyming dactylic couplets. The deadpan delivery gives it the feeling of a public record, and the fine cross-hatched illustrations point to the Victorian fascination with death and childhood innocence. <strong>The perfect book for anyone who ever painted their fingernails black.</strong></p> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Gashlycrumb-Tinies-Edward-Gorey/dp/0151003084/ref=sr_1_1_title_0_main?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1314872697&sr=1-1&tag=anilluguid-20">Buy on Amazon</a> / <a href="http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/Gashlycrumb-Tinies-Edward-Gorey/9780151003082?a_aid=anilluguid">Buy on Book Depository</a> /</blockquote>http://gingerandfreckles.tumblr.com/post/9917023970http://gingerandfreckles.tumblr.com/post/9917023970Wed, 07 Sep 2011 09:44:37 -0400edward goreydarkculttraditional<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lptq84O9Ep1qjqdhko1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://surrealcamille.tumblr.com/post/8845796367">surrealcamille</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>interesting use of a fireplace</p> </blockquote>http://gingerandfreckles.tumblr.com/post/9888923595http://gingerandfreckles.tumblr.com/post/9888923595Tue, 06 Sep 2011 17:05:50 -0400booksbookcasefireplacemakeshiftorganizationreading<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpbzyq3zlm1qzhokmo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://teachingliteracy.tumblr.com/post/9037725274">teachingliteracy</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/people/jobozarth?ref=ls_profile">jobozarth</a></span></p> </blockquote>http://gingerandfreckles.tumblr.com/post/9037865697http://gingerandfreckles.tumblr.com/post/9037865697Wed, 17 Aug 2011 09:33:38 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpznqmRuYX1qllcsyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://gingerandfreckles.tumblr.com/post/8966425646http://gingerandfreckles.tumblr.com/post/8966425646Mon, 15 Aug 2011 17:29:14 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpnz70V9sH1qllcsyo1_250.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://gingerandfreckles.tumblr.com/post/8689263303http://gingerandfreckles.tumblr.com/post/8689263303Tue, 09 Aug 2011 10:06:36 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpmh34THtI1qzqphmo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://fabula.tumblr.com/post/8663571294">fabula</a>:</p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p>I didn’t need an adult to drive me around and keep an eye on me and tell me what to do.

It has everything to do with free public access to well-curated, well-organised, unbiased information; it has everything to do with libraries as part of the local community; it has everything to do with libraries as a source of entertainment that doesn’t presume everyone’s lives are an endless race to acquire wealth and possessions.
