Don’t miss out on this complete set , we do not come across them often. Especially at this price,  (we have seen single volumes from this set advertised for sale from $20-$80 each. ) Volume two, containing the story  ”little Black Sambo” is especially desirable, and we have seen it listed at over $80 US for this volume alone.

This is a lovely collection garnered from an estate where the woman clearly read a lot to her children.  We pulled hundreds of children’s books from here.

The embossed covers on this set are marvelous and in great condition.  this was surprising given that they were stacked in closet and covered with dust bunnies.

We dusted them off, and present them to you now.

This set is complete, with volumes 1 through 8.
All intact, no pagesmissing, all covers good (some need a bit of cleaning, after 30 years in the cupboards).
