About This Item
A compact little book with an embossed red fabric cover, coming apart at the top of the spine, both front and back. Contains seven illustrated short stories for children, each with a moral to teach. A number of inscriptions are found on the first few pages, the earliest of which documents a gifting in 1866 (see photo #5). An additional inscription documents the finding of this book in an attic in 1945.
