The Children's Omnibus: A Story Book for Boys and Girls

First (and likely only) thus.  xvi, 1016pp.  Red cloth-covered boards, gilt lettering on spine.  8vo.  Cloth rounded on corners and spine ends, spine sunned obscuring titles, a little faded. Text block edges dull and spotted.  Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. An impressive collection of classic stories for children, from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to Black Beauty, from Matilda Who Told Lies to The Jumbles and the Jackdaw of Rhiems - 32 stories, complete unabridged, except The Travels of Baron Munchausen and Aesop's Fables, both of which have been lightly abridged.
