Welcome to Litsy!

It‘s so hard to find anything about B & N Parker other than that they were sisters - Bessie & Nancy & that they collaborated on a number of picture books. I could find traces of their work in online auction houses but nothing about them.

I also found a little article on Trove from the Western Mail, a Perth newspaper dated 6th December 1912 - that thinks it‘ll be a popular Christmas book - as it‘s for sale for the very reasonable price of 3s 6d.

This is my favourite page in the collection - it reminds me of all the stories I‘ve heard about how naughty my twin uncles were as boys. I can just imagine them blowing bubbles and mucking around on the clothes line instead of actually being helpful 🤣

Who are these distinguished gentlemen? 🦘
