These are some of the books that I have collected over the past 25 years - most of them are autographed, which makes naturally more special. They are mostly autographed to my two children, but they aren't getting them any time soon!!!
My most cherished autographs are those of Maurice Sendak, Eric Carle, Hilary Knight, Arnold and Anita Lobel, Brian Wildsmith, Nancy Ekholm Burkert, Susan Jeffers, Jack Kent, David Macaulay, James Marshall, Robert McCloskey, Peter Spier, Trina Schart Hyman and Barry Moser.
