3 Facsimile editions from the Osborne Collection of Early
Children's Books

The Bodley Head
London - Sydney
1981

Three books (each in envelope) & single slipcase. 14 + 21 + 16 pp.

Diamonds and Toads is a translation of Les Fees, a little-known story that first appeared in Perrault's Histoires 1697, but the edition reproduced here was originally printed by T. Brandard, Birmingham.

The second booklet Scripture Histories retells eight stories from both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. This booklet was printed by F. Houlston and Son, Wellington. The woodcuts in this booklet are appropriate to the texts.

The third chapbook was published by John Golby Rusher, Banbury, who opened a printing office in 1808. Jack and Jill, and Old Dame Gill begins with a traditional English rhyme, dating perhaps from the early 17th century. The second verse is more recent, and the further 13 stanzas, found in many early 19th-century chapbooks, were added by an anonymous hand. The woodcuts were designed by George Cruikshank and then engraved by A. R. Branston. Jack and Jill is folded uncut, as originally printed.

11 x 7 cm.
