About This Item
London: B. T. Batsford, 1954 4to (25.5 cm), front., 256 pp, 107 plates. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (dj worn, some part of dj missing, internally very good). From the blurb: "In this book, Percy Muir, the leading authority on English Children's Books, has written an account which is both scholarly and entertaining of the works published for children during three centuries. Mr. Muir passes over the books written solely to instruct or to improve, and concentrates on those whose aim is entertainment. He discusses at some length, and with an endearing enthusiasm, the important children's writers and their books in the years up to 1900. Mr. Muir provides lists -- invaluable to the collector -- of the most important children's books during each period, and he refers to the most useful works by earlier writers which have appeared on the subject."
