I've just finished reading this book and came across this write-up via an image search (as your blog seems to be the only place I can find an image for this book!) I'd say you're very fortunate to own a copy of this book! I have mine on loan via ILL right now and I'm feeling a little sad about parting with it today ;-) I can't say it was my favorite read either, but at times I was very entertained. I thought the silhouettes in particular were very nicely done!Chandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07166022222097462784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046320545497573335.post-51535851085588629052009-06-29T22:22:08.167-04:002009-06-29T22:22:08.167-04:00Hi.

Mr. Bennett lived in Charleston, SC, and in the late 1930's his illustrations for this book were focus of the inaugural exhibit of the Federal Arts Project-sponsored gallery in Florence, SC, where I live. The show took place in the basement/bomb shelter of the local library in 1936. If you would like, I can send you a copy of the newspaper clipping.<br />www.florencemuseum.org.<br />ask to speak to the curator and tell whoever answers the phone that it's about the Bennett book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
