A TREASURY OF LITTLE GOLDEN BOOKS

By

Publisher: Golden Press (S. & S.)

There have been 450 Little Golden Books published. Some of these are familiar, much loved, children's small classics. Many of them are original texts, of somewhat ephemeral value. But all of us constantly winnow the output for those originals that rate special notice. Now Ellen Buell, of the New York Times, has rescued from oblivion 48 of the best- and republished them in this big family collection. The original pictures are here, by world famous artists,- Tenggren, Rojankovsky, Gergely, Garth Williams, the Walt Disney Studio and others. And story after story proves its right to permanent form. The trade edition is paper over board binding, and won't stand up to the repeated use. We strongly recommend Goldencraft binding (net price quoted).
