Brightly illustrated throughout. A story, written in verse, about a couple and their growing family. In the original verse, the little boys all disappeared at the end.

In the original quarter red cloth binding with pictorial paper covered boards. Externally, smart with light shelf wear and minor chipping to the extremities. The odd mark to the boards. Hinges starting but firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd spot and handling mark. Good
