RF1178History and Stories for Children and Teenagers by One of the Most Important Spanish Publishers of All Times 12vo; 4 series 20 issues each: "Cuentos" "Vida de hombres celebres" "Cuentos" "Episodios historicos"; original illustrated wrappers; fine condition. Ramón Sopena 1867-1932 was a Spanish editor who founded the publishing house that bears his name in 1894 in Barcelona. He was a multifaceted editor that published essentially dictionaries and encyclopedias but also journals. For some time he also edited erotic works and then opted for popular literature. In the children's genre he published small works in series such as the ones we offer here: the CHILDREN COLLECTION or the LIBRARY FOR CHILDREN. The printing house had a long life since it closed only in 2004. The purpose of the CHILDREN'S COLLECTION "Episodios historicos" "Historical episodes" was to make relevant topics of Spain's history available to children. "Vida de hombres celebres" "Life of famous men" are brief biographies of characters from Spanish and universal history. Finally the two series of "Cuentos" "Tales" are small stories without specifying their authors. # WorldCat: no copies of this series in US Libraries.
