Quayle's collector's guide traces the long, intricate development of children’s books; from early didactic chapbooks and moral tales to the emergence of lavishly illustrated Victorian and Edwardian classics. Blending bibliographic description, publishing history, and practical collecting advice, he highlights how illustration, format, scarcity, and condition determine desirability. The volume offers both a historical survey and a working handbook, helping readers recognise the artistry and cultural significance embedded in early juvenile literature. 256 pages, fully illustrated. Original cloth, with a decorative gilt title piece, with a quite sunned and mildly worn dustwrapper. Size: 15.5 x 23.5 cms. Category: Varied Books; Books on Books; New Arrivals; ISBN: 0715383078.
