The website Children's Books Central is maintained by Eleanor's Books, which is currently promoting Old Friends & New Faces. The twenty some stories were taken from children's books of the mid to late 1800's. Printed with the ideal that it would be handed down from generation to generation. Colors are true to the originals and the black and white prints are crisp. Of course there is one major change, and that is the inclusion of a wider margin so, as the hardbound book is handled, the illustrations might not get quite so many fingerprints.

While supplies last, Old Friends & New Faces  soon available online.  Until it is set up please contact using this email without the extra spaces:  questions @ eleanorsbooks .com
