But I think my favorite birthday book was a set of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, oversized and illustrated with creepy woodcuts by Barry Moser. I collect different illustrated or translated editions of Alice, and my folks gave me these when I was a teenager, to add to my collection.Heidi Rabinowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412775388549758908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-56871242338725779762008-11-06T22:53:00.000-05:002008-11-06T22:53:00.000-05:00I love Carl Sagan.I love Carl Sagan.Marcella O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05981351373981918111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-8933881397739636132008-11-06T22:30:00.000-05:002008-11-06T22:30:00.000-05:00I think it was a fabulously sweet gift your hubby ...I think it was a fabulously sweet gift your hubby gave you.
