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.

Luxurious presentation edition (relié toile, tranches dorées),text block gilded on three sides. undated but probably around 1905. Author is also known as Marie Malezieux. Numerous engravings by Gilbert. Pages somewhat browned and some splitting on left side of spine. Otherwise very good.See photos. This is probably a "First thus" published by Flammarion.
