I'm so pleased today on Collecting Collections to interview Ward Jenkins, a friend of mine and an amazing illustrator. Ward and I have lots in common, but the two most obvious things are that we are both illustrators and we are both avid collectors. Today I'm going to interview Ward about his fantastic and extensive vintage children's book collection. Ward also happens to be husband to fellow Poppytalk contributor Andrea Corrona Jenkins, who took the awesome photos in this post. I am sure as you read the interview and scroll through the images he sent me that you will become as entranced with his collection as I am!
