Description: Fifty short stories and various poems and fables are recorded in this book, in the language that only the America of the 1950s could preserve. Included are Little Red Hen, Peter Rabbit, Old Mother Hubbard, Little Black Sambo, The House That Jack Built, Ten Little Indians, The Mitten Song, Peter Pan in the Never-Never-Land, and The Night Before Christmas. This book is a classic collection of vintage Americana in culture and living color. Blemishes to the book condition includes some marks and damage to 3 pages: errant ink marks on p. 122 & 126, and tape applied to mend tears on p. 29 (opposite side is p. 30, with no tape on that side and good mended edges to the tears). These items are pictured above, along with pics of the binding and spine/cover. On the front Title page the numbers "295" are written in pencil in the top right corner. ALL PACKAGING IS DONE WITH THE ASSUMPTION THAT PACKAGES GET WET. Your package will be bagged, wrapped, and shrink wrapped inside the box in order to ensure that your purchase arrives in a respectable condition.
