Special Collections is home to a wide variety of books– from pop-up books to teaching manuals, there’s always something new to discover! While there are quite a few cookbooks in Special Collections (ranging from 1894 to 1950), some of the most notable derive from beloved literary characters: such as The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Cookbook (1981), The Narnia Cookbook (1998), Mary Poppins in the Kitchen (1975), and Encyclopedia Brown Takes the Cake! (1983).
