About This Item
Belper: Printed at J. Rosewarne's Publication Warehouse, [s.d., c. 1840s] [8]pp. Original publisher's buff pictorial wrappers. Lightly rubbed and marked. An apparently unrecorded, provincially published edition of this popular East-Anglian morality tale on guardianship, which appeared from the late sixteenth-century as a broadside production and was variously published, in slip sheet and chapbook form, as The Norfolk gentleman's last will and testament, The affecting history of the children in the wood, and The Babes in the Wood in the intervening years. Little is known of publisher J. Rosewarne beyond his birth in Wirksworth, a record of his time as a teacher in the Belper Wesley Sunday school, his succession of the Bridge Street premises of printer and bookseller Mr. Ogle, and, bizarrely, his weakness for toffee (Journal of the Derbyshire Archaeological and Natural History Society, Vol. XII, February, 1890). . 12mo.
