Reviews

Clay Lancaster's children's books deserve a place in Kentucky public libraries, in their circulating collections and in their Kentucky collections. The books provide a record of the cherished childhood of a Lexington scholar who is noted for his serious research and writing in architectural history, art, and comparative religion. The children's books embrace multiculturalism in mid-twentieth-century America and offer a view of childhood travel dreams, animal companionship, and gleeful appreciation for fanciful architecture. The illustrations document Lancaster's lifelong love of drawing and architectural fantasies. -- <i>Kentucky Library Association</i></p>

Uses a wide range of primary sources and masterfully brings them all together in a rich source for a wide range of people to enjoy and use. The addition of the numerous illustrations, many showing buildings that have since been demolished, make this book an especially valuable resource. -- Material Culture
