Cover has attractive coloured paste-on. 128 pp. Type is large and paragraphs are numbered. "It is hoped that these 'London Bells' will catch the ear of young Londoners, and win their interest for their own great city. The eye also should be pleased, for here are reproduced, in colour, masterpieces from the Guildhall and elsewhere, as well as many pictures specially drawn. Brightly written for seven-year-olds, it tells of the old history and tradition of London town, and of the busy scenes and gaieties of to-day. The grave note mingles with the gay in this children's carillon, and old London songs are given, with music, for the children to sing." Pp 57-60 are loose. About 1" is torn away from the top of the spine. Covers are a little grubby, frayed and torn.. Cloth. Good/No Jacket. 8" x 8 1/2". more information
