Buddy at Pine Beach - 1931

This charming 1931 edition of Buddy at Pine Beach captures the carefree spirit of early-20th-century seaside storytelling. Written by beloved children’s author Howard R. Garis, known for creating the iconic Uncle Wiggily series, the book transports readers to sunlit boardwalks, summer cottages, and youthful seaside adventures — evoking a time when stories celebrated simple joys, friendship, and exploration.

This original copy has been thoughtfully handcrafted into a one-of-a-kind journal, preserving select pages of the original tale alongside smooth, acid-free writing paper. The vibrant red cloth cover, softened by nearly a century of age, adds a striking visual and tactile presence — its gentle wear reflecting the history of a well-loved book given new creative purpose.

This journal is an ideal keepsake for lovers of vintage children’s literature, summer nostalgists, coastal dreamers, or writers drawn to the spirit of simpler days. It invites memory-keeping, creative journaling, seaside travel notes, or reflective writing inspired by classic storytelling.
