About This Item
This is a perfect copy of The Children of Dickens, the famous book, written in 1812, by the American minister and essayist Samuel McChord Crothers (1857-1927).
It is beautifully illustrated by the great American illustrator Jessie Wilcox Smith (1863 -1935).
The book is excerpts from Dickens' works involving children, including Pip, David Copperfield, Micawber Junior, Joe the Fat Boy, Oliver Twist, Sissy Jupe, the Cratchits, the Jellyby chidren, Jenny Wren, Little Nell, The Kenwidges, Bailey the Todgers boy, the Dombey children, Jemmy and Alice Watkins, with short chapters on London and Dickens.
On the cover, and on 9 pages inside, there are color plates signed by Wilcox. 7" x 9 1/3" x 1 1/4".
259 pages.
Aside from a couple of tiny spots on the upper right-hand corner, and a faint bump to the back cover, this book is in mint condition. No dogears, no shelfwear, no evidence that anyone read it. It's perfect. It includes an ancient pressed rose, whose stem has been wrapped in cord (see photo).
