La vraie histoire du Père Noël. Ses origines et ses ancêtres sur 3000 ans.
Women in the 1950s were the first to embrace pants for a feminine figure. While the women in the 1940s loved their man tailored slacks, they were gradually losing favor in the 1950s for a more ladylike style. Women's 1950s pants were taboo on TV. 1950s women were secretly wearing pants at home, but it

Sunday's a good time to turn your brain off and look at things that make you happy. Maybe that's the appeal for some people to go to church... The other day on Facebook, a few other art appreciators and I trailed off topic and someone brought up Little Golden Books, one thing led to another and the scanning started. Below are the Little Golden Books that sit proudly in my collection. There are a few more stuffed in a box of Christmas type stuff one of which I've already posted here and the rest I'll get to by December, I'm sure. These are books that I've carried with my since I was a wee tyke, with the exception of the Bugs Bunny and Road Runner ones which I picked up in my teen years, just because I was starved for real cartoons. The late 70's was a very bad time for fans of real cartoons. People ask, why did you keep your children's books? You're forty-freakin-nine years old?!? The answer being, even as a tot, when it came time to toss away such things, I knew that there be true art here. I knew this was something to treasure. AND I had the best mom in the world and she spoiled me rotten. I don't apologize for that. I deserved it. Drink in these beautiful "LGB patented washable covers" and see if you don't agree. And see if you don't find a few familiar books from your own past. Bob Clampett's Beany & Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent. We had a B&C board game when I was a kid too. I was born after the TV show was done airing in my area, so my exposure to these great characters was here first. I was probably in my 30's before I ever saw an episode of the cartoon and in my 40's before I ever saw the puppet show. I was sure glad I had this when I finally did! A Hanna=Barbera cartoon that wasn't even a cartoon at the time. Didn't stop the drawings from being funny though...just looka that twisted horn dinosaur! Awesome! That's right. I know my colors! Incredible art in this one. I learned an awful lot about dinosaurs from this book. Most of the info is now out of date, but these paintings are wonderful! As a very small child of 4 or 5 years old in Montana reading this one, I remember turning to my brothers Richard and Mike and saying "Wouldn't it be neat if this place was real?". They smirked, called me a dumb kid and told me it was. When I was 22 I moved to California where I knew no one, had no where to live and no job prospects. This is the first place I went, just in case I had to turn tail back home. I wish I was small enough to play on a toy boat! The paintings in this one still have me mesmerized as well. Hanna-Barbera's early "menagerie characters" look even better in book form than they do on their shows, if you ask me. Ah, Marge's Little Lulu. What a bunch of appealingly ugly little kids. Very off=mode for an officially sanctioned book. Disney did that kind of things for their albums a lot too...it really lends to the fairy tale aspect. The aforementioned late-comers to the stacks. Loved none the less. Another cartoon from before my time...but when I started learning about cartoon history (you know, the IMPORTANT kind of history) I was ahead of the curve because of this book. I'm sure I was exposed to other takes on Ma Goose as a kid, but this is the one in my minds eye. Could there ever be a more perfect Simple Simon than Goofy? I don't think so. Another book with some really striking paintings. That bunny and his magic nose are so deeply ingrained in my brain, I don't thinkyou could get them out with a crowbar! Disney's Winnie is as iconic as Milne's Winnie. Not often a character can embody two such distinctly different looks and feels and work well in both. Never understood this one. School was a chore I could have done without. learning was great, but did I really need to be subjected to that environment 7 hours a day? I don't think so. These drawings were worth being exposed to, though. Now for the main answer to "Why do I still have these" and maybe you hadn't thought of this yet "Why were they right where you could find them when it came up on Facebook?". The answer is simple. Little Golden Books make me happy. Talk to you soon.
I found a few different examples of Hansel and Gretel illustrations, and I just wanted to share them because they are so sweet. First, we have this illustration from "Favorite Bedtime Stories" illustrated by Miss Elliott, from 1943: Eloise Wilkin's illustrations in this Little Golden Book: And another Little Golden Book, this one also from 1943, and illustrated by Erika Weihs: Look at the cute little house, and the smiling sun on the title page! I love it. (Finding these has given me an idea: How about a Tim Burton version of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm's original story - you know, a live-action fantasy type of thing like Alice In Wonderland? Although it doubtless would not be a saccharine-sweetened version of the story like those in these vintage books, it sounds like a good idea to me!)
