The Twins' Travels by Dorothy A. Yule and Susan Hunt Yule
$100.00
In 2015, we traveled to Europe for the XXXIII Conclave of the Miniature Book Society in Amsterdam. This was the first European trip we had taken together in almost 20 years. We had both studied at art school in London and still have many friends in England. So our trip became a journey to visit the past, and to meet new friends and find new adventures in the present. As the epigraph of our book says: Above the waves, in midnight skies, the fantasy adventure lies: across the land, beyond the sea, a voyage for my twin and me. The format of this little book was loosely based on Dot's Travels, a miniature book published by the American Tract Society in 1874, a copy of which we acquired at the Book Fair of the conclave in Amsterdam. Many of the rhymes were written as we traveled and finished when we returned to our respective homes. Susan then illustrated the finished text. Half of the edition was made as keepsakes for the friends, old and new, that we saw on our journey.
