Peter and the wolf - Serge Prokofief

One of the best children's books I came across: Peter and the wolf by Serge Prokofief, illustrated by Frans Haacken. This edition is from 1964, it was first published in 1958.

Growing up I didn't get familiar with the story nor with the music, unfortunately. But this book makes up for this blank spot in my education. The illustrations by Frans Haacken are amazing and the fact that they're black with just a touch of colour is a very interesting and bold choice for a children's book!

I'd like to know what you think of it!

Vintage negatives

Bought in a really great shop in Ghent, Belgium. 

Vintage tin box - Babbelaars

These tin boxes are still for sale, new ones, filled with candy. They still look similar, a little newer though. This one is in rather poor condition but I couldn't help buying it, since Zeeland is the part of Holland I grew up.

Colourful circus dream

A book about the colourful and interesting history of the circus and circus acts. It was published by the Dutch Dairy Foundation in 1957. The images were trading cards.

Happy families - Fairy tales

Go fish card game from 1976.
