Step into the world of Eloise Wilkin, one of the most beloved children''s book illustrators of the 20th century. The best of Ms. Wilkin's Golden Books (some of which have been out of print for decades) are included here, several in their entirety. They represent the nearly one hundred titles that spanned her remarkable sixty-year career.
Little Golden Books offers this treasury as a tribildute to the artist, who showed us, so gently and so well, the world through a child's eyes.

The Little Golden Book Collection of Eloise Wilkin Stories is a hard cover book that I was thrilled to come across. My personal favorite included in the book, Baby Dear, is an out of print story that I have kept an eye out for at garage sales for years. This collection by many authors is dedicated to Ms. Wilkin's sweet portrayal of the lives of little kids. Well, to be more specific, stepping into the lives of little children of the seventies and earlier. The angelic little children are chubby, sweet, and cute. Most of the stories are about the simple things in life, like helping mommy clean the house, or getting dressed to go outside and play. I suppose there are people who may not like this book because it shows the 'traditional' roles that were probably true at the time most of the stories were written. The dad goes to work; the mom stays home to clean in her skirts and heels; the little girls are in dresses with dolls, and the little boys with trucks and pants. But if you just take the stories for what they are (they don't dwell on these issues) and take the time to enjoy the beautiful illustrations, then I think it would be a welcome addition to a wider library of books. |
