From the Tower Window of My Bookhouse (Classic Reprint) by Olive Beaupré Miller
I tried listening to a few of the stories in the Librivox edition, but I wasn't enjoying them, or most of the narrators I sampled.
I wouldn't give this book to a child to read. The stories vary too much in accessibility and interest for modern kids. However I would recommend it as a resource. I think the variety of styles, topics and material would make it helpful to educators or home schoolers.

Little Pictures of Japan by Olive Beaupré Miller
This was one of my favorite books when I was little. It is a heavy book full of beautiful Japanese poetry. The illustrations so perfect!

The first poem:

Baby Hands

One chestnut, only one,
Is all his tiny hands can hold,
My little baby son. Gomei

I don't know how many times that I have read it but it touches my soul each time.

Another favorite of mine:

The Modest Violet

Climbing this mountain pathway,
No lovelier flower I see
Than the little shy violet, hiding modesty. Basho

Halls of fame of my book house, volume 12 by Olive Beaupré Miller
Fondly remembered from my childhood, the series in the "modern age" seems pedantic and preachy. The illustrations are wonderful.

The Treasure Chest of My Bookhouse by Olive Beaupré Miller
Mixed stories, non-fiction and poetry for children from famous authors and people who are now unknown. I find I'm loosing my taste for a lot of children's literature, but I found some items worth reading and suspect a child would do better.
