(I do have a copy of that book an antique first edition at that, and some of the most lovely plates in it as well in full color. Illustrator for this copy is Jesse Wilcox Smith, whom I am found of art wise. It was one of my favorites, and I had first searched for a copy, by reading an part of it in an old children's library book series. I think it may have been one called my book house, that also led me to seek out a copy of water babies. )

It seems we have the same edition. Or rather, had. I gave my 1919 edition away some time ago.

(Librarian mode activated. It appears they did both appear in the My Book House series, albeit in different volumes:
Vol. 3, including "Verses on Kingsley's Water Babies"
Vol. 5, including "Little Diamond and the North Wind" by George MacDonald)

(A little serious, but you helped me get through things once, I thought this would be helpful for others too.)

As Carmen both IC and sometimes OOC, you seem to have it all together. Did you ever have insecurities or ever feel inadequate? How did you develop stability and be such a good boss?

    fun facts: Quokkas naturally look like they’re smiling because of the shape of their mouths. The internet adopted them as “the happiest animal,” though in reality they’re just little nocturnal marshmallow creatures trying to survive like everything else.

    Edited because the answer was wrong and needs rewording: I am one of the great world cities that sits near major fault lines. Cats roam my ancient ruins. Empires fought endlessly over me because I connected continents. Where am I?”

    Why do we say "Excuse my French" when about to swear. When something crappy happens why do we ask "If we're having fun yet." and "Why do we say "For pete's sake" are these all just American phrases?

    This is becoming a fun rabbit hole....the alphabet has been rearranged a few times. "A" came from a Phoenician symbol that originally represented an ox's head. "B" came from a symbol meaning "house." The names Alpha and Beta evolved from Aleph and Beth. ...

    The letters J, U, and W are relatively new additions compared to the others. For a long time, people used I/J and U/V as the same letters.
