FROM THE HOUSE There is a particular sweetness to children’s books from this period: not merely sentimental, but carefully made, with illustrations and jackets that were meant to invite a child into a smaller, gentler world. All By Ourselves has that early Dutton charm — domestic, illustrated, and quietly decorative — the sort of book that feels equally at home in a nursery, a collector’s cabinet, or a library shelf devoted to the enduring art of childhood. ~ Maxwell
