different paths to survive amid civil war in the Lebanese capital.
Five judges from Ireland, Britain, Spain and the United States selected
Hage for the $155,000 IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.

 5 Little Pigs (1890)
alegalangel's 1st edition antique children's book, 5 Little Pigs,
was published in 1890. With a cloth cover binding and linen pages, it
is certainly a throw-back to another era. Among collectors, it is a
highly sought-after collectible, and this copy is in great condition.
Books like these have long commanded a high value from those who wish
to collect them because of their beautifully drawn art, rarity, and
appeal to both children and children at heart. If you would like an
item or collection featured in an upcoming newsletter, please feel free
to send me a message.
