From the dust jacket: "Among the priceless treasures of The Pierpont Morgan Library in New York is a very large collection of early children's books one of the most important and comprehensive collection of its kind in the world. Some of these classics of children's literature have never before been exposed to the public while others are old favorites. From these incomparable holdings representing more than a thousand years of social literary and art history Gerald Gottlieb Curator of Early Children's Books at the Library has chosen to present and discuss 225 outstanding examples of books and manuscripts most of them written designed and illustrated for children. This is not emphatically a 'children's book' but it is -- through its sparkling text and splendid illustrations many in full color -- a window into a world we all once loved and inhabited. The term 'children's book' is here interpreted very broadly. Engagingly described and fully illustrated are such gems as manuscripts of Aesop's Fables from the third and ninth centuries; glittering twelfth-century illuminated bestiaries; a fourteenth-century courtesy book written and illuminated for royal princes of France; the original manuscript 1695 of Perrault's fairy tales containing the first pictures of Puss in Boots Little Red Riding Hood and Bluebeard; woodcut-illustrated broadside ballads of Robin Hood and Patient Griselda; the first miniature Bibles for children; the manuscript with original illustrations of Dickens' A CHRISTMAS CAROL; illustrated letters in which Beatrix Potter conceived Peter Rabbit; the first edition of Frank Baum's WIZARD OF OZ; and the manuscript illustrated by Antoine de Saint-Exupery of THE LITTLE PRINCE. There are hornbooks battledores courtesy books ABC's primers nursery rhymes poetry and fables illustrated by artists from Albrecht Durer to Kate Greenaway…" Oversize Hardcover. 9.25" wide by 12" tall.
