This collection for ages 8-11, Amelia Daydreams (Vintage Ink Books $19.99) by Anna Mouat, follows the daydreams of Amelia, a lively young woman from the 1920s, as she embarks on fantastical adventures. From playing tennis on the moon to pet-sitting a dragon and riding a peacock, Amelia’s journeys are brought to life through sixteen rhyming verse vignettes, accompanied by vibrant full-page illustrations. The book showcases vintage Art Deco Vogue magazine covers from 1911 to 1924, illustrated by artists, adding a touch of 1920s glamour. 9781068804403
