Little Wide-Awake: An Anthology of Victorian Children's Books

Location: Yonge and College /downtown Toronto Cash only; prices are firm. "Amongst the finest treasures of the Victorian era are the children's books with their wonderful stories, poems, and illustrations. From one of the larger private collections of Victorian children's books and periodicals in England, Leonard de Vries has compiled an anthology which is as attractive for adults as for children, and which is of value to teachers, historians and all others who are interested in children and history, because the ideals and ideas of the period are reflected in this book. Little Wide-Awake... reveals many details of life in the Victorian world with astonishing frankness and great vivacity, especially in the field of social welfare... The anthology contains stories of unexpected horror and of sweetness, more realistic than anything published for children today..." - Little Wide-Awake: An Anthology of Victorian Children's Books and Periodicals - Leonard de Vries Feel free to check out my other book posts as well!
