| | Cards, cards, cards! I have cards on the brain. At present, it seems to work best if we order eight designs at a time (free shipping!). We've got the first half of the next order done--these four are from a book by Charles Kingsley called The Water Babies. Has anyone read it? Personally, I think it's a little exasperating, like a Lewis Carroll minus the wit:
"I can't learn my lesson; do come and help me!" And one cried, "Can you show me how to extract this square root?" And another, "Can you tell me the distance between a Lyrae and B Camelopardalis?" And another, "What is the latitude and longitude of Snooksville, in Noman's County, Oregon, U.S.?" And another, "What was the name of Mutius Scaevola's thirteenth cousins' grandmother's maid's cat?"
Zuff. But the illustrations by Mabel Lucie Attwell save the book. At least for me.
