Affecting History of the Children in the Woods [Chapbook]

Verlag: Turner & Fisher, New York and Philadelphia

Beschreibung

Published c 1840, Turner & Fisher were active in the 1830s and 40s publishing "toy books" or chapbooks. Pictures are rather crudely hand painted but this actually adds to the charm of this book which was made cheaply for children and as such not many have survived. There are eight pages printed on one side. The story line is the same as 'The babes in the Woods', about two children of a wealthy family who become orphaned and placed in the care of a wicked uncle who leads them out into the woods where they perish. A morbid story from our modern perspective but more normal during this time period. Front cover has a tear and spine is sewn. A good survivor from nearly two centuries ago.
