Alice and Jerry Early Reader - 1957

This lively 1957 printing from the Alice and Jerry Books series captures the adventure filled spirit of mid century children’s storytelling, where curiosity, imagination, and everyday exploration shaped beloved reading editions. The colorful stagecoach cover illustration reflects a time when stories celebrated movement, discovery, and simple excitement found in tales of travel and daring journeys.

This is the only available copy, now thoughtfully handcrafted into a one of a kind journal. Select pages from the original book remain preserved among smooth acid free writing paper, allowing the joy and energy of childhood storytelling to accompany your own reflections. The beautifully illustrated cover, gently softened with age, adds a bold nostalgic presence to this truly unique keepsake.

This journal makes a meaningful gift for collectors of vintage children’s books, writers, educators, and anyone drawn to the charm of classic illustration and youthful adventure. It is ideal for journaling, sketching, creative writing, or memory keeping inspired by stories of travel and play.

As with every Red Barn Collections journal, this piece carries the authentic character of its original printing and the careful craftsmanship that gives previously loved books new life.
