Children have played with marbles since ancient times. In early 19th-century New England, marbles were mostly made with clay and were imported from England or Germany. Some marbles were even made with local clay. #MarbledMonday #Artifact #Toys #History

Some catchup #marbledmonday goodness for the feed. While I the world burns and all this seems pointless but I know it’s not.
Love this little gem that came across the cataloguing table today, with its slightly psychedelic marbled cover perfectly preserved under its dust jacket. Always so nice when a book about books is … also a nice book. And this one even comes with a book token bookmark! *swoons* #marbledmonday
