Jim Fanning's Tulgey Wood TV - Babes in Toyland By The Books (featuring Golden Books and Comics)
by Jim Fanning
Celebrate Walt Disney's 1961 holiday treat via some of the books that were issued as part of the merchandising blitz that accompanied the musical fantasy's original release. Revel in all kinds of stocking stuffers from a tiny Top Top Book (about Grumio and Tom Tom the Piper's Son) to the Big Golden Book and the Giant Golden Punch Out Book that packs a Yuletide punch of color and delight. Plus comics of all shapes and sizes (and conditions).

"I can almost envision Alice and I walking hand in hand among the croquet match, listening to the Queen of Hearts demand her bounty of rolling heads, and trying to make heads and tails of who is winning the confounded game. Am I leading her to safety or is she leading me?"
