"Silver Pennies" by Blanche Jennings Thompson is a cherished collection of modern poems designed for young readers. Published by The Macmillan Company in New York, 1935, this edition features the enchanting illustrations of Winifred Bromhall, adding visual charm to the poetic content. Thompson, a notable figure from the English Department at City Normal School, Rochester, New York, curated this collection to inspire and engage children with the beauty of poetry. This particular copy is a reprint from May 1935, reflecting its enduring popularity. While the book is not a first edition, its historical significance and appeal to collectors of children's literature remain intact. The book is ex-library, with inscriptions indicating its previous ownership by a school, adding to its unique provenance. Despite the absence of a dust jacket, the book's content remains a delightful exploration of modern poetry for young audiences.
