The Griffin and the Minor Canon
The Griffin and the Minor Canon | Frank R. Stockton
1 post | 2 read
The first of Frank Stockton's original fairytales re-illustrated by Maurice Sendak. When a griffin shows great fondness for the sculpture of himself above the great door of the church, and equal admiration for the Minor Canon, the townspeople fear that the terrifying creature will live among them forever.

This is my son Griffin (also seen as The Grinch a couple of my posts back) reading to his son, Canon. Yesterday, he pulled a couple of his old picture books (think 1990‘s) from my shelves for Canon. All of a sudden I recalled the tagged stored in a bucket of our paperback picture books. What are the odds (even the spelling)!?

marleed @Gissy @CoverToCoverGirl @Reggie @UwannaPublishme Thank you! It is fun to have grandbabies as the background of my pics these days! And I can‘t believe I‘ve had that book in my collection for some 30 years and then all of a sudden the title and it‘s significance just popped into my head. It took me all of 3 minutes to locate the book - and the look in my son‘s face when I handed it to him was priceless! 1y

marleed @DivineDiana It‘s divine :). I found a used hard copy online (my copy is paperback) and had to take my chances and order it. It arrived quickly! It has library markings but is in very good condition. I can‘t wait to give it to my Griffin and Canon at Christmas. 1y
