When I Was Exactly Minus Nine Years Old

This was a $.15 Magazine Cover







































The artist is Helen Hokinson. She is a member of the 1800 CLUB.

More than 1800 of her illustrations have graced the pages

Sixty-eight of her illustrations appeared on the cover.

laughed so hard
at her scare crow
that none of
the birds
ever disturbed
what grew there.
