me and collection: children book

I think there is something with me and Maurice Sendak. Why?
Because within a week I found and bought and got like three,
yes, three of his books! And this is the second book that I got 
a couple of weeks ago. He illustrate this book beautifully delicate
with a story by Wilhelm Grimm that has been preserved in a
letter to a little girl in 1816 and found by his family for over a
century and a half later. This book was published in 1983 by
Farrar, Straus and Giroux New York.

Saya tidak tahu ada apa dengan saya dan Maurice Sendak akhir-
akhir ini. Saya terus menerus menemukan buku-bukunya di
toko buku seken maupun dari pemberian teman. Ini adalah
bukunya yang kedua setelah Where The Wild Things Are yang
baru saja difilmkan tahun lalu. Buku ini berisi cerita yang ditulis
oleh Wilhelm Grimm dan ditemukan 150 tahun kemudian oleh
keluarganya dalam surat yang dia kirimkan kepada seorang
gadis kecil di tahun 1816. Lihatlah ilustrasi Maurice Sendak
disini, luar biasa cantiknya bukan?

Sunny Sunday

This Sunday I had an extremely exciting time with friends
on the preparation meeting on this exhibition that I just
can't wait to share you soon. In the meantime, this is what
I found on one Sunny Sunday at one big second hand market
stall near my house. What a pretty children book!

Hari minggu ini saya habiskan bersama begitu banyak teman!
Selain mempersiapkan sebuah pameran untuk bulan depan yang
saya sudah tidak sabar untuk saya ceritakan disini tapi kali ini
saya mau memperlihatkan sebuah buku anak-anak tentang
pakaian yang saya temukan di pasar buku bekas hari Minggu
beberapa minggu lalu. Cantiknya!

Another gem I found at Jakarta Book Fair last month.
Wee Willie Winkie and other boys and girls from mother
goose. Gorgeous illustration by Berta and Elmer Hader.
I am so glad I went to the fair and found so many
stunning children books! Yay!

me and books: Tini Series

I've find out that this one famous series of children books
by Marcel Marlier and Gijs Haag that we have the Indonesian
version of it, apparently its getting really difficult to find.
And I'm glad that I'm still being able to rescue some of these
books at my mom's house among my youngest sisters books
and magazines.

I've start to collect this in 1980's and I noticed that several
books especially the best ones are missing or had the pages
torned apart. What a sad, sad fact. Oh well, then there is one
more reason to go to the second book shops then:)

Oh and I'm so happy to find a flickr group on Marcel Marlier

Enjoy!
