 1536437874,
Southern Illinois University Press, 1972. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 296. The library of Ruth M. Baldwin contains, at the present time, about 35,000 titles and editions of children`s books in English, all before 1900 and mostly from the nineteenth century. Though a small part of the out­pouring of children`s books in English in the nineteenth century"estimated to be as much as a quarter of a million volumes"her library is probably unique in its equal representation of American and English children`s books. How many of the books published were rhyming alphabets is difficult to say. These hundred books presented here, certainly a small part of the whole, bear publication dates around the early part of the second half of the century, and represent the whole century well, for true children`s book publishing did not precede this by much. Children and readers in general as well as students of children`s literature should find this book of books interesting. The alphabets repro­duced here are included in their entirety, many of them in color, and are grouped thematically under such topics as nature, animals, and farm life. ISBN: 9780809305094. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
