The Pierpont Morgan Library and David R. Godine, 1975 4to (30.5 cm), front., XXX, 265 pp, 225 illustrations. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. "[The book] attempts to show us, by word and by picture, how and where children's literature originated and which kinds of stories were chosen for children -- and by children -- over the centuries. We follow the tales which became popular, see how they were often initially illustrated by crude woodcuts, and how they might later be transformed by the drawings, watercolors, or engravings of great artists. This is not a history of children's literature; it is a selection of masterpieces or milestones from the past two thousand years of books and pictures which either were intended for children or which before long became their special property." (from the Preface by Charles Ryskamp). 225 books described in the catalogue, supplemented by the essay "The first flourishing of children's books" by J. H. Plumb.
