Description: Title: Helen's Babies, with some account of their ways, innocent, crafty, angelic, impish, witching, and repulsive. Author: "By Their Latest Victim" (John Habberton) Publisher: Ward, Lock, Bowden and Co, LondonDate Printed: 1888 Description: Scarce original pictorial softback with chromolithographic cover. These sixpenny books were published in the Victorian era and provided entertaining or sensational reading for railway journeys. Like the hardback yellowbacks, which were priced at two shillings, they have chromolithographic illustrated covers. Although produced in large numbers, they were regarded as disposable at the time, and survivals can be relatively scarce. 7.75 inches by 5 inches. 150 pages, plus catalogue to rear. Illustrations all present and correct. Adverts to endpapers. In attractive condition with some wear, chipping, and loss of paper to spine and edges (see pictures). Staples beginning to rust. Toning and creasing to leaves (see pictures). Binding sound and square. Scarce.Provenance: We have recently acquired a large private collection of yellowback books and Victorian pulp publications.
