Up for auction is a rare and beautiful survivor of Victorian-era children’s literature. This softcover "toy book" edition of the classic tale "The Children in the Wood" was published by the renowned McLoughlin Bros. & Co. of New York as part of their sought-after "Aunt Matilda’s Series."The original pictorial wrappers are loose/detached from the text block. The spine shows significant wear, and the pages are currently held together primarily by the original thread, though they are pulling away. Pickup category timeslot {A}
