Mike Mulligan is popular at bed time, as is The Little House - which is probably my favorite.
Ah! I posted this over in SUP MARXISTS!
Oddly enough, we have two variants of Mike Mulligan - one with a few double-page sequences removed, some text reduced, and the town selectman made less nasty. I think that might be the Scholastic edition?
I probably haven’t seen these endpapers in nearly 40 years, since we have softcover editions (and a scholastic “hardcover” that is reduced in content).
#HOLY CRAP - I never heard of this!
A Disney version from 1952 - The Little House | Disney Wiki | Fandom (contains scads of artwork)
Concept art was by Mary Blair, and remained the main influence on the film (According to the disneywiki, above)
(Mary Blair concept art)
I’d seen this before in articles on Blair, and even used it as a desktop background – did not remember or notice at the time it was for The Little House (probably because I “rediscovered” the book only in the last couple of years).
Might I also reccomend Ferndinand as an awesome story of individuality and a desperate pre-WWII paen to Pacifism?
