New York: Harcourt, Brace & World, 1969. 227 pp, 12mo (7" H), red cloth spine with lettering/border in gold, cream paper-covered boards reproducing the illustration from the dust jacket. B&w illustrations. "For this, the second volume in Milestones in Children's Literature, Victor E.

The chapbooks included in facsimile reproduction are: The History of Guy of Warwick; Fairy Stories;… Read More
