children's books in the past

This post in the awesome Boston 1775 blog brings together a number of threads. First of all, I find its simple content quite fascinating. And, of course, it also connects my love of history, the 18th century, books, Boston, and even the junction of all of these things--my first real job out of college--selling books on the corner of School and Washington Streets in Boston, across the road from the Old South Meeting House.
