A quartet of vintage-to-antique children's books and ephemera, in condition commensurate with age and use. A rare surviving piece of 1930s advertising, this paper pamphlet was designed as a tie-in to The Wizard of Oz radio series of 1933-34, and was aimed at children to get them to harangue their mothers to make Jell-O, the show's sponsor. The brilliantly colored illustrations are each miniature works of art.  The inside cover features the Jell-O pitch, as does the back cover, along with the penciled name of the owner. 
The Little Golden Book version of Hansel and Gretel is a 1945 first edition, second printing in dust jacket. Nameplate inside front board has been inscribed, and there is some wear to corners and to dustjacket, otherwise spine is intact and inside pages are in good condition. Little Golden Books first launched in 1942, and continue to put out new books today--a classic endures!  
"The Little Brown House and the Children Who Lived In It" was published in 1878, and tells of a family's new home in the country. Features decorative green cloth binding stamped with gilt, silver, red, and brown; all page edges are gilt. Many black and white illustrations. Wear as expected with age and exposure to young hands. Finally, "Holidays at Home," from 1895, although the title page and pub date are missing. Cloth-covered boards with full-color paper plates, and profuse black and white and color illustrations. Contains many stories from different authors and illustrators. Wears as expected with age, and again, those busy little hands ...
