1933 Children's Book, Homemade - What You Think

I found this today. This thing is beautifully hand drawn and colored. It is about 30 pages long with a drawing on every page

That's pretty cool, 'Tiger. I probably woulda picked that up too, if I'd seen it out in the field. Sorta hard to pass up stuff like that.....I assume you've started to research the artist--maybe she went on to do more work.....

I do not get a single hit, unless she wrote cookbooks in the 60's.

I could not pass it up for a dime.

There was a Helen Bullock that worked in Williamsburg, VA in the mid-30's. She was a writer/archivist.

This book is pretty amazing. I thought it was a children's book. It is a book of poems.

Who could I contact about this book?

It looks a lot like Little Lulu art. Pretty cool.

That's it. I knew it looked like something, I was thinking Orphan Annie, but knew that was not quit it.

This is the woman who worked in Williamsburg, VA. She was a very important historian, it seems.

Only thing that does not add up, the first page says she is 18, but she would have been 28 in 1933. If this is her, she must have written them at age 18 and decided to write this book ten years later.

There are 50 poems (not 30) in this book. I read all of them, they are really good, funny, some sad, etc.
