Plaisirs de L'Enfance.
No Publisher or printer, c. 1890. Board book, 180 x 115 mm. 8 cloth backed board pages with colour lithographic illustrations. A curious collection of french words and phrases which seem to have little connection with each other but would certainly introduce interesting concepts to a child. From the banal like pomme, poire and fourchette to a dancing bear, an elephant used in a tiger hunt and a sentry box.

The Tinies Own Presentation Pack. Contains Six Assorted Picture & Reading Books for Tiny Tots.
The Featherstone Press, c. 1945? A fine pack of books in almost perfect condition barring some slight rusting of the staples. We acquired these in unopened state and whilst tempting to leave the pack like that we thought we should at least know what was included. With the original printed outer wrapper, two thin cardboard sheets protecting the 6 books, the largest 250 x 185 mm. Probably an unsold pack from a closed down business. It is highly unlikely that any other survive in like condition. None of the titles here are listed on the Library Hub> all the other titles by this publisher, around 75 in all, are dated 1943 - 6 from acquisition records.
