Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

So I tossed the book in the garbage. ... I decided I wanted to find the book again. I discovered it sells for up to $300 on ebay and other used sights.


Doesn't that just make you sick . Glad you will be able to get a reprint - a lot of reprints coming out recently - seeming to stay true to the originals even if not PC.

Yes Mary. I about choked when I saw the prices that Amazon used had for the book, and the conditions of those books were about as bad as mine.
I guess we live and learn. But then I just repurchased FIAR for about the third time a few months ago...I apparently didn't learn fast enough.

I just saw this great book today The Golden Legacy. It was published to celebrate the Little Golden Books company 65th anniversary this past year. Anyway, the book is a history of the company and how it changed children's publishing with antecdotes about the books, series, and authors. Lots of familiar pictures in there of various book covers. Brought back many good memories.
