CHOO CHOO Virginia Lee Burton The story of a little engine who ran away. Her first book, written to entertain her son, Aris, before being published. Full of her wonderful reportage drawings, a skill she learnt on her long commute to art college. Published here by that champion of the modern book, Faber, in 1944, during wartime. Just love a train book! #virginialeeburton #choochoo #trainsofinstagram #steamtrains @faberbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/BqJzqq6AeEn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fgziss5tqfpt

Choo Choo Virginia Lee Burton Endpapers from 'The Story of a Little Engine Who Ran Away' published by Faber and Faber in 1944. Fabers were one of the most progressive and modernist of publishers and were one of a handful who published children's books in England by the more avant-garde European and American illustrators. Sales must have been small but a brave and progressive outlook. #choochoo #virginialeeburton #trains #endpapers @sfplbookarts

【素敵な洋書絵本の紹介】 ちいさいおうちがたっているのは、田舎の丘の上でした。 彼女のまわりにはりんごの木が植えられ、春になるときれいなお花がさきます。 夏には白いデイジーがいっぱいになり、秋の紅葉は美しくて、冬はなだらかな丘を、雪が白く染めていきます。 朝におひさまがのぼり、夕方にはおひさまがしずみます。夜はお月さまがやわらかい光であたりをてらしていきます。 一日づつおだやかに変わっていく丘でした。 この幸せな光景が、ある日変化の時が訪れます……。 有名な絵本なので、一度は読んだことがあるかもしれませんね。 すごいスピードで変化していく都市の発展を同時代に見てきたバージニア・リー・バートンは、どんな気持ちでこの絵本を描いたのでしょうか。 1943年コールデコット賞受賞。 この時代に描かれたくらい、アメリカの発展目覚ましかったですね。 The Little House Contributor(s): Burton, Virginia Lee (Author) EAN: 9780395259382 Publisher: Clarion Books Binding: Paperback Copyright Date: 2007 Pub Date: April 26, 1978 Target Age Group: 04 to 07 Physical Info: 0.76 cms H x 22.35 cms L x 23.88 cms W (0.18 kgs) 44 pages Annotation: The little house first stood in the country, but gradually the city moved closer and closer.

"In the nights she watched the moon grow from a thin new moon to a full moon, then back again to a thin old moon; and when there was no moon she watched the stars." From "The Little House" by Virginia Lee Burton. This was a favorite of mine as a kid, even though it made me sad. . #thelittlehouse #virginialeeburton https://www.instagram.com/p/B7s2IIaHjs3/?igshid=1h1ouvedqjh2r
