About This Item
Curiously the title of this book STORY OF A PENNY on spine and page one of the cover and below the coloured frontispiece, becomes THE ADVENTURES OF A PENNY in this "New Edition".of Routledge's One-Shilling Juveniles.This book is in very good condition for its years.The first signature is getting a little loose and there is slight foxing on the illustrated page and the titlepage.147 pages in post 8vo. with an additional 6 pages of Routledge's catalogue of Juvenile books. It is slightly bumped and a light-hearted moral tale.
I have failed to discover anything more about Mrs. Perring other than that she appears to be a fairly prolific author of similar moralistic tales for the very young. Maybe this is a pen name - maybe not.
