Bright and shiny dust jacket, illustrated, showing only very minor wear, dust jacket not being price-clipped. Gift-quality condition inside and out. From the publisher's blurb, "In the early nineteenth century, the prevailing influence in children's books was the promotion of morality, coupled with instruction. So Benjamin Tabart showed no little courage when, within three years of opening his Juvenile Library in Bond Street he launched out into the publication of a series of well-produced fairy-tales and nursery stories. The description of some 190 books published by Mr. Tabart includes accounts of the contents, comments on quality, contemporary reviews and details of reprints. Part II lists titles advertised by Mr. Tabart as his publications and as being on sale in his shop but not found with his imprint. Brian Alderson contributes an essay on the illustrating of two of Tabart's books; and in the introduction Marjorie Moon discusses Tabart's publishing career and gives the few facts known about his family life.Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .

Sturdy, attractive, tightly bound in hardcover format, generally clean, lightly toned at worst, minimal rubbing to extremities. Bright and shiny dust jacket, illustrated, little worn, protected by a plastic coat. Printed, illustrated pictorial covers, red cloth-backed. "For this, the second volume in Milestones in Children's Literature, Victor E. Neuburg has written an admirable study of the famous 'penny histories' or chapbooks which formed almost the entire reading matter of the poorer people in eighteenth-century England. At a time when children's literature had a strong religious and didactic basis, these little paperbound books, however crudely produced and illustrated, kept alive traditional tales of romance and adventure, and fed the imagination of young and old alike. Facsimiles of seven of the 'penny histories' are included in the present volume, and there is a detailed bibliography of source material." The chapbooks included in facsimile reproduction are: The History of Guy of Warwick; Fairy Stories; The Interesting Story of the Children in the Wood; An Elegy on the Death and Burial of Cock Robin; A Peep at the Various Nations of the World; Toads and Diamonds; The Rod. Includes a section on chapbooks in America." Frontis matter, 1-227 pp. including a full index.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . Near Fine/Near Fine,
