Thread Name: Malvina Reynolds tribute
Subject: RE: Malvina Reynolds tribute
This has been great reading about a great and talented lady! I was fortunate to meet her once and hear her sing... can't remember where or when... probably in the Bay Area somewhere and, I think, at some kind of Quaker "do" in the 50s or 60s. Enjoyed singing some of her songs to my kids when they were growing up... their favorites were "Little Boxes" and "Morningtown Ride."

For those interested in her books, I just checked with BookFinder (http://www.bookfinder.com) They had the following titles listed:
Cheerful Tunes for Lutes & Spoons
Little Boxes and Other Handmade Songs
THE MUSE OF PARKER STREET.
THERE'S MUSIC IN THE AIR Songs for the Middle-Young
TWEEDLES AND FOODLES FOR YOUNG NOODLES Children's Songs
Little boxes, and other handmade songs, by Malvina Reynolds. Illus. by Jodi Robbin.
Magic Penny Big Book: Black and White Nellie Edge I Can Read and Sing Big Book
Malvina
Malvina Reynolds Songbook
Morningtown Ride
THE MUSE OF PARKER STREET: More Songs By Malvina Reynolds
Not in Ourselves, nor in Our Stars Either
Song in My Pocket
There's Music in the Air
Tweedles & Foodles for Young Noodles

I copied that from their site. Some are new and some are used copies. Go to the webpage and type Malvina Reynolds in the "Author box, then click the "search" button. Also checked Powells Books (http://www.powells.com) They list 5 titles "not in stock", but you can click a button and they will notify you when (and if) they get them in. Just type in her name at the "search" button. Their list is:

Little boxes and other handmade songs.
         
Malvina Reynolds Songbook
         
Morningtown ride
         
Muse of Parker Street More Songs
   
THERES MUSIC IN THE AIR

Hope this will help those who are interested in obtaining her books.
