I chose them for their illustrations, but the stories are good too. My favorite book growing up was "The Velveteen Rabbit".

...Oh, I think your own watercolours are wonderful!<br /><br />The books look delightful. I'm not familiar with any of them--though of course remember a few favourites from my own childhood. There was one version of Cinderella, a small hardcover edition, that had the most glorious illustrations, particularly of her dresses. I still remember them, though the images have become a bit fuzzy in my mind. I wish I still had the book, though.
