Includes the months of November, 1901 through April 1902. With 3 page table of contents inserted before first month. Pages remarkably clean and bright, though with some foxing and with a few showing some yellowing. Covers and textblock firm, but with leather has deteriorated somewhat. --- Each issue of St. Nicholas includes stories, often by well-known authors, as well as dozens of charming illustrations, photos, riddles, poems, letters, and non-fiction articles written for young people.

This delightful collection of magazines provides an insight into the way of life in the US at the turn of the 20th century.

In her role as the self-styled 'Conductor' of St. Nicholas Magazine, she was able to attract numerous well-known authors and illustrators to submit contributions. ; 7-1/2 in. wide x 9-3/4 in. tall; 576 pages.
