corazon

this interesting book was in a stack of children's books that i picked up in a grab bag. they were all vintage and i'll be posting quite a few (if not all) of them. the entire book is in spanish and has pop-up diorama like illustrations. really lovely. i am most smitten with the cover though.
it's a translation of the italian children's novel heart (cuore) by edmundo d'amicis. which is known for its socialist leanings.
