The Genesis of Childhood Dreams and Their Realization

My grandparents gave me this book when I was 4 or 5.  It made me want to travel.

It is now out of print, sadly.  I bought a copy off of exlibris.com several years ago.

When I grew up and was able to see some of the places Richard Scarry introduced to me, it was so thrilling.
