*Magic Windows: An antique revolving picture book by Ernest Miller (1895, 1980) was a very special find at a library sale. It has only five pages. Each page and the back cover has a revolving picture. That is, an illustration within a circular frame changes when a tab is pulled about halfway around the circle. A new scene glides smoothly into place to cover the previous image. I’d only ever seen crudely made picture pull books in which the reader pulls on a tab to reveal another picture under it. The revolving pictures in Nester’s book are beautifully made. Credit for the book reads, “This book was reproduced from the original ‘In Wonderland’, first published in 1895 by Ernest Nister.”
