It may be anywhere you choose in the English countryside, because ' BB' has drawn a living picture of that sort of delightful old house among fields and woods, the ideal English home which thousands remember from their childhood or hope to have in that future for which they work and plan. The letters are w r i t t e n b y a countryman to a younger friend abroad and they describe the routine of country life throughout the months of the year as it engages an active man with a contemplative mind. They recount the discovery of the small signs of spri ng , th e de li gh t s of summer and long days spent in the open air, and the white beauty of the winter which the townsman hardly knows. Here then is a tranquil book designed for casual reading, calling up the very sights, sounds and smells of th e E ng lis h cou ntr ysi de . It is one of the most intimately observed of 'BB's' books, and one of the most endearing." Minor browning to pages, light browning to edges of textblock, two very small corner bumps.

"In all the world, there's no place like Halloweenland and Jack Skellington is Halloween's most important figure. It's Jack who devises Halloween's most macabre tricks and frights, and he's done it year after year with delight. But this year, something isn't quite right: Jack has grown bored with the usual Halloween pranks, and the joy of seeing shock and horror on people's faces has faded. One night, while out for a walk in the woods, Jack stumbles upon something he's never seen before: a strange door carved into a tree. Stepping through the door, Jack stumbles into a world unlike any he's ever known. He finds himself in a bright, cheerful, colorful place called Christmas Town. Immediately captivated by all the Christmas sights - shining tinsel, sparkling lights, gaily wrapped presents, and sweet confections - Jack knows that he must somehow find a way to become part of it all. And Santa Claus himself provides the key as Jack decides to bring Christmas to Halloween - with Jack starring in Santa's role!" Minor rubbing on rear board.

96 pp, 8 3/8" H. Colour and b&w photographs, drawings, map. "In the northwest corner of the bustling city of Toronto stands Black Creek Pioneer Village, a replica of a typical 19th century crossroads settlement in southern Ontario. The village (is) laid out on a 56-acre site. Within the confines of the village the sounds and sights of another age are in sharp contrast to the towering buildings and the noise of 20th century traffic on nearby Jane Street and Steeles Avenue. At Black Creek the pace is slower, reminiscent of a time when life was harder and simpler but rewarding. The village consists of 41 historic buildings, each offering a fascinating glimpse into the past. Inside the houses and artisans' shops the visitor sees how Upper Canada's early settlers lived and worked. Here the housewife cooks the family's meal in the open hearth of the fireplace; the cabinet-maker works on his foot-powered lathe; the blacksmith hammers a horseshoe on his anvil; women are spinning, dyeing yarn and weaving cloth. There is the old stone gristmill with its 18.5-foot waterwheel which drives the machinery to grind the whole wheat flour for the local inn. At the Half Way House patrons are offered a hearty fare, and at the Laskay Emporium the shopkeeper takes time to chat with the customers."
