The book A stands for Angel by Joan Gale Thomas was written well before 1958. The description is as such:
A STANDS FOR ANGEL. The A, S, A being red the rest black. A Book of the Alphabet in picture and Rhyme by "*Joan Gale Thomas". the name in Red also. I will send scan of same tomorrow. It was written in 1939 and was published by A. R. Mowbray and Co. Limited, London and Oxford, Morehouse-Gorham Co. New York. It has a picture and place for "This Book Belongs To......" in this case; "Alun Jones from Daddy Xmas 1939" it was printed in Great Britain
The book is dedicated by Joan Gale Thomas to "For Sally and Babette" a small stencil of an Angel writing is on the same page. Obviously there is a separate page for each letter of the Alphabet and a small rhyme and beautiful to accompany them. The Signature of Joan Gale Thomas accompanies each large picture, sometimes as initial sometimes with one of the names.
It is too late for me to add the pictures now, also I wish to know if you would like these showing.
