Thank you, Erin Ross from Buchanan District Library... the mystery has been solved! I have a very happy patron (who happens to be my aunt, lol). This book was originally published in 1946 as "The Pedlar of Colored Threads," later reissued as "The Peddler of Colored Threads." Thank you to everyone who offered title suggestions and recommended sites to search. 🙂 Helena ________________________________ From: Erin Ross <e.ross(a)buchananlibrary.org> Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2024 2:27 PM To: Helena Hayes <helena.hayes(a)gcmdl.org> Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] Looking for 1950's-era book This has to be it!
