Icon post: Miss Rumphius

Sometimes I pick up books from my childhood and start reading them again. Then I remember that I have a scanner, and I spend a good two four hours violating all sorts of copyright laws. I think I crossed the line of fair use with Barbara Cooney's picture book Miss Rumphius -- but I couldn't help it. Every page has some wonderful bit, even if it's just a tiny detail. Related: you may notice that I'm kind of in love with the little house by the sea. I apologize for my enthusiasm on that one, but there frankly wasn't much else to do last night.
