The American Girl's Handy Book
If Tom Sawyer had been a girl, Aunt Polly would certainly have seen to it that she had a copy of this book and with a heartfelt blessing. It's a magical cornucopia of projects, devices, toys, gifts, dolls, recipes, decorations, perfumes, wax and clay modeling, oil and water-color painting, and games, all with clear and practical directions for how to make and play them.
Pure vintage Americana by Lina Beard and Adelia B. Beard, two of the founders of Girl Scouting in the United States. A delightful gift from great-great-grandmother's house. 474 pages. Soft cover.
