"With Coloured Illustrations". Later rebinding in pinky-brown binder's cloth. Light scuffing, faint foxing. Only 2 illustrations present in text: others (including frontispiece) presumed missing. "These tales and stories, originally selected by Miss Mitford, have been carefully revised, re-edited, and gathered into a single volume. When first published they obtained great and deserved popularity; it is hoped that in their new form they will prove equally attractive, and afford much pleasure to the young readers of the present, as they formerly did to the children of the past."
