The Lion in the Box

The Lion in the Box | Marguerite De Angeli

pick

🌟🌟🌟🌟 Book 2 of my #VintageBookishChristmas is The Lion in the Box, by Marguerite de Angeli. It‘s out of print, my library doesn‘t have it, and it can be really hard to find in good condition at a reasonable price, but I finally did this year! So I knew it had to move to the top of my holiday TBR list.

I really enjoyed it and it‘s only reinforced my desire to read lots more of her books. Luckily they are not ALL out of print!🎄📚🎄

smilingshelves This author was from a city about half an hour from me! I know there's an exhibit about her in the public library but I haven't had a chance to visit it yet. The only one I've read by her is The Door in the Wall, but I should start reading others! They look delightful! 5y

BucklingBookshelves @smilingshelves oh how cool! I didn‘t realize it was that close to you! I‘ve been enjoying her books so far — I hope you can find some! I actually have an illustrated biography about her I haven‘t read yet called Michigan's Marguerite De Angeli: The Story of Lapeer's Native Author/Illustrator

smilingshelves That book needs some love on Goodreads! I'll have to track down a copy to read, too. 😊 5y
