The Whale

This copy of Moby Dick is from 1937, is illustrated by Rockwell Kent, and has over 100 perfectly executed woodcut illustrations. Best gift ever.

Kites

It has been very windy lately.

My grandmother has a copy of this book along with several others intended to distract a house full of ten year old kids. Other subjets covered in her library include treehouse building, trap-making, knot-tying, and how to skin snakes. As a boy I tried to build the kite that looks like an eagle, it didn't look like an eagle but it did fly.
