A blog celebrating the beauty of vintage children's books.
When I turned 8 years old, I had a large birthday party with everyone from my grade and even my teacher in attendance. (I lived in a small town so that puts the numbers into perspective). My teacher gave me the following book: The Everything Book: A Treasury of Things to Make and Do by Eleanor Graham Vance Illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman I loved this book. I still have it. It is long out of print. I loved the crafts and ideas in it but the thing that I loved the most were the illustrations. Thus began my love of the illustrations of Trina Schart Hyman. In college, while I studied Children's literature, I bought the book The Fortune Tellers by Lloyd Alexander and illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman The story is an original folktale from Cameroon. The story of a young man visiting -- and then becoming -- the village fortune-teller. The story is very good, and the illustrations are spectacular. (Note: if you can get your hands on this book do! It is a feast for the eyes. It is also a wonderful book for folktale use as well as as for multi-cultural themes). Since then I have expanded my collection of Trina Schart Hyman illustrated books. I love her drawings. They are spectacular. She has done many fairy tales. (A genre I love). She is most well known for her books in which she has won Caldecott Awards: Saint George and the Dragon Retold by margaret Hodgen Illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman Caldecott Medal 1985 Margaret Hodges retells the story of Saint George and the Dragon from Spenser's The Faerie Queene. The Red Cross Knight slays a dragon that has been terrorizing the countryside for years, bringing peace and joy back to the land. She collaborated again with Margaret Hodges on two Arthuraian books. The Kitchen Night: A Tale of King Arthur Merlin and the Making of the King This is a collection of three Arthurian legends with Merlin the wizard, and Arthur's rise to King of England. The stories include the witch Morgan le Fay, the traitor Mordred and the story of Sir Lancelot. Little Red Riding Hood retold and illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman Caldecott Honor, 1984 I love this book so much I blogged about it here: My Obsession Little Red Riding Hood Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblinsby Eric Kimmel and illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman Caldecott Honor, 1990 A Child's Calendar Poems by John Updike illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman Caldecott Honor, 2000 She also illustrated covers of some of my favorite novels. Caddie Woodlawn by Carol Ryrie Brink A Midwife's Apprentice by Karen Cushman Matilda Bone by Karen Cushman Ronia, The Robber's Daughter by Astrid Lindgren But her illustrated fairy tales are my real favorites! Swan Lake as told by Margot Fonteyn and illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman The Sleeping Beauty retold and illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman Snow White by Paul Heins illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman Rapunzel Retold by Barbara Rogsky Illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman King Stork by Howard Pyle Written and Illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie Illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman This illustrated version is one of the best. The beauty of Trina's illustrations capture the sweet sadness of the story so well. I ADORE this illustration of Princess Tiger Lily!! A Child's Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas She had her illustrations in countless books. Seek her out next time you are at your favorite bookstore or library. This list is by no means representative of all that she did. It is only some of my favorites. Lastly, she worked with Jean Fritz. She illustrated some of Jean Fritz's history books, which I LOVE! Why Don't You Get a Horse Sam Adams? by Jean Fritz illustrated by Trina S. Hyman Will You Sign Here John Hancock? by Jean Fritz illustrated by Trina S. Hyman The Man Who Loved Books by Jean Fritz and illustrations by Trina Schart Hyman One last one, just for fun!
FIGGIE HOBBIN is a collection of 13 children's poems written by Charles Causley and complimented with delicate line drawings of Trina Schart Hyman. I enjoyed the delightful random nonsense of many of the poems contrasted with the thought provoking introspect of others. Starting with I Saw a Jolly Hunter with its suprising ending each poem has a life all its own. The last poem in the book is the one from which the book gets its title. It speaks of the old King of Cornwell, tempted with all sorts of exotic dishes, who petulantly tells his servants to take it all away and bring him what he really wants--a humble dish of Figgie Hobbin. - pudding sweetened with a handful of raisins (raisins being "figs" and figs "broad raisins"). A lot like me... when I find something on the menu I like, I'm not likely to try anything else. Bonnie R 207 of 1001
Vintage hard cover children's book with dust jacket, in very good condition. Written by Phyllis Krasilovsky and illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman. Published by William Clowes & Sons Ltd, London. 1973, SBN 437 53508 8 'Phyllis Krasilovsky has created an appealing and gentle story about a special little girl who gradually gathers self-confidence and begins to know the fun of friendship and sharing. Trina Hymans sensitive artistic characterizations of the story join and extend the text in capturing Anne's mood and her eventual evolution' After more than 50 years a very 'up to date' children's book!
The last week has been eventful, well kind of. Last Sunday I cooked Easter dinner for 18. Monday I rested. Tuesday I quit smoking. Wednesday I got sick. Since then I've been sleeping and laying around, turning into a blob. I'm starting to get bored, which I'll take as a sign of getting better. And for once getting sick was a blessing, it helped with the first few difficult days of nicotine withdrawl. In The Quitting Deal written by Tobi Tobias and illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman, mother and daughter both have habits to quit. They make a deal to quit together and to help each other. Holy Cow! How many vintage children's books do you see with a mother smoking while nursing, not to mention with other children and pets?! This book is from 1975, but even so... Trina Schart Hyman was influenced by the Brandywine era of artists such as Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac. You can see this influence in her work, but she was also very contemporary and didn't shy away from illustrations that other's might not find acceptable. Mother and daughter test several ideas: the holding hands cure, the talking cure, the candy cure, the comforting cure, the penny cure, the food cure and the next to last cure. What I like about this book (besides the fact that Trina Schart Hyman illustrated it) is how the family lovingly supports each other. No blame, no guilt, no anger. They understand for a person to truly quit an addiction, they need to do it on their own. We don't get the requisite happy ending in this book either. Just a strong message of hope and support.

Today's vintage children's book is a lovely story, Epaminondas, beautifully retold by Eve Merriam and craftfully illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman. "Epaminondas and his mother lived on one side of the hill. His grandmother and grandfather lived on the other side of the hill." "Whenever Epaminondas went to visit his grandparents, they gave him something to take home." "One day his grandmother gave him a big piece of cake that she had just baked. It was rich and yellow and round as the sun in the sky..." "He held the cake tightly in his fist and walked down the hill carefully. He was careful not to trip on any pebbles along the way. And he headed straight home. He didn't even stop the watch the fish waggling in the brook. Or listen to the birds jabbering in the trees. He didn't whittle himself a stick. He went straight home." "Epaminondas, sometimes I think you haven't even got the sense you were born with. That's not the way to carry cake. The way to carry cake is to wrap it all up in leaves and put it in your hat and then put your hat on your head and come along home. Now, will you remember that?" "Yes, Mama," said Epaminondas. "The next week Epaminondas went to visit his grandparents again. This time they gave him a pound of fresh butter to take home. It had just been churned and it was cool and pale as moonlight and there were drops of moisture on it that sparkled like dew..." "Soon the sun began to shine brightly...Epaminondas began to feel warmer and warmer. Pale, shiny drops ran down his forehead, matted his eyebrows, stuck to his eyelashes. He sniffed, and drops of butter sniffled into his nose..." " After a while, Epaminondas went to visit his grandparents again, and they gave him a frisky little puppy-dog to take home. The puppy-dog yipped and yapped and flipped its stubby tail and flapped its floppy ears." An excerpt from the jacket flap by Eve Merriam: "I loved Epaminonas; his adventures were funny, of course, but most of all I loved him because he was like me. I, too, had a knack for doing the right thing at the wrong time." This is the kind of story that children love and parents enjoy reading because it is well written and well illustrated.

by Terri Windling To most people today, the name Snow White evokes visions of dwarfs whistling as they work, and a wide–eyed, fluttery princess singing, "Some day my prince will come." (A friend of mine claims this song is responsible for the problems of a whole generation of American women.)...
There’s a passage in C.S. Lewis’s book about his late conversion to Christianity, Surprised by Joy, in which he describes an aesthetic experience from his childhood that exemplifies the core of his spiritual longings. He recalls looking at Beatrix Potter’s Squirrel Nutkin and feeling a peculiar sense of desire. He describes the sensation: It troubled […]

King Stork (Books of Wonder) Howard Pyle illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman 1973 Trina Schart Hyman’s illustrated version of one of Howard Pyle’s tales from The Wonder Clock. She is another prolific artist whose books I’m always trying to get my hands on. I think her very best pictures are for fairy tales. Madeleine found this at her elementary school library (which I thought was funny since the illustrations are a tad risqué and the story would most certainly offend people who are not afficionados of fairy tales.) We however love it! Magical King Stork helps a young drummer win the hand of a beautiful princess (who also happens to be a witch). Of course, marrying her isn’t enough to drive her wickedness out so he’s advised to take a switch and “hold tight to her and lay on the switch” as she transforms into various vicious animals. In the end she was “as good a wife as ever churned butter”. Last of all, there stood the princess herself. "Oh, dear husband!" she cried. "Let me go, and I will promise to be good all the days of my life." "Very well," says the drummer, "and that is the tune I like to hear."
