"[The book] attempts to show us, by word and by picture, how and where children's literature originated and which kinds of stories were chosen for children -- and by children -- over the centuries. We follow the tales which became popular, see how they were often initially illustrated by crude woodcuts, and how they might later be transformed by the drawings, watercolors, or engravings of great artists. This is not a history of children's literature; it is a selection of masterpieces or milestones from the past two thousand years of books and pictures which either were intended for children or which before long became their special property." (from the Preface by Charles Ryskamp). 225 books described in the catalogue, supplemented by the essay "The first flourishing of children's books" by J. H. Plumb.

Mr. Muir passes over the books written solely to instruct or to improve, and concentrates on those whose aim is entertainment. He discusses at some length, and with an endearing enthusiasm, the important children's writers and their books in the years up to 1900. Mr. Muir provides lists -- invaluable to the collector -- of the most important children's books during each period, and he refers to the most useful works by earlier writers which have appeared on the subject."

London: Denis Dobson, 1971 4to (28.5 cm), 120 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. From the blurb: "It is rare to find material assembled for the first time between the covers of a book that deals with objects so familiar that we are no longer aware of them. Infantilia is such a book. It tells in drawings and text the history of perambulators, feeding bottles and rattles in a manner that is of interest to the collector of increasingly rare and often beautiful objects, to the sociologist and to the pram-pushing mum and dad in the street. It is amazing that no such study has previously appeared and its experienced authors have made it lively, personal and scholarly with illustrations of 125 different objects. When was the first pram made? Can you date a vintage pram? Did you realise that they were collectors pieces? Would you recognise a blue and white willow pattern feeding bottle of 150 years ago when even the pottery that made it has no record? Did you know that the feeding bottle has a… Read More
