1954 - The Twelve Dancing Princesses pictures by Sheilah Beckett. Quoting from a page in the book 'They hurried down another avenue where the trees had leaves of brightest gold, and up a third where the leaves were diamonds." I have an extra copy of this book if you contact me throught host of this website...hit contact on front page.
I was born in 1947 and my Mom was always buying me Golden Books. I had one that I loved so much and I can't remember the name. What I do remember was that it was about a family of princesses..quite a few of them. The graphics in this book were beautiful...the princesses were so beautiful and I can remember that the trees in the story had these diamond shaped leaves like jewels. The artwork in this book inspired me to draw and paint and since then I have become a professional artist. I think about this book quite often and would love to find a copy. Does anyone know anything about this book...perhaps the title and where I could find a copy.
