The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them.  If you need to see photos of the actual book or have questions about the condition, please call or email.

Children are children the world over, with a spirit that crosses all barriers of language and time. In A Garland of Games Barbara Cooney takes us back two centuries to join colonial American children at play. Though their costumes are unfamiliar and some of their games and toys different from those we know today, the spirit is the same—here are children having fun, inviting all to join them in their play. The merry jingles and the bright, carefree illustrations make the invitation close to being irresistible.
