Before I was even pregnant with Hannah, I was at a thrift store, and I found these same bedtime story books. Of course, I bought them all on the spot, because, if memory serves me correct, I asked my Mom if I could have ours, as they were still somewhere around their house, and she said, "Nope!"
Anyhow, I bought them, all 20 (I think) volumes. And let me tell you, it was some of the best $25 I've ever spent!
The Girls just cleaned up and organized all their books in the basement, and found these bedtime stories once again. Tonight, Ellie Mae is home sick (again!), so I laid in bed with her, cuddling, and she had one of these beauties, so we read a few stories. And I STILL love them! The pictures are very retro, and the stories are great - they are deal with different morals (for example, the one we read tonight was Peter's Pockets, or something like that...). I looked in the cover of the book tonight, and they are copyrighted in 1964, but were originally written in 1928, so I guess I must have the updated version....haha!
Anyhow, all that to say, I LOVE Uncle Arthur's Bedtime Stories. Still. Loved them when I was a kid...love reading them to my kids. It brought warm fuzzies to my heart!
So there you have it. Uncle Arthur Rocks!
