The Finest Story in the World; Short Stories; The Ancient Mariner; The Coming of Arthur by Rudyard Kipling, Guy De Maupassant, Samuel T. Coleridge, and Alfred Tennyson - ca. 1919

A set of four tiny leather-bound books from early in the 20th century. These are each 8 x 10 centimeters. The Kipling and De Maupassant books were bound with endpapers and have held up well over the years. The other two had just the bare leather against the pages, which resulted in the binding failing and the outer pages getting discolored and brittle. You can see this in the photos. Based on the quality of the leather and the binding technique, I would say the Coleridge and Tennyson works are older, but there are no dates on any. Owner's names inside the cover of the Kipling and De Maupassant books, with the latter having the date of 1919 written therein. It is likely the others are of that age or older.
