Contemporary red morocco richly tooled in gilt and blind lettered in gilt 'Tales and stories' to upper board A.E.G. A trifle rubbed and marked. Internally clean and crisp. An attractively bound sammelband of sixteen diminutive chapbooks intended for a juvenile readership. The titles within all illustrated with crude yet charming wood-engravings include staples of the Victorian street literature market; compendious retellings of perennially popular nursery rhymes such as Cinderella Little Red Riding Hood and the Children in the Wood. An exception is a remarkably rare version of a recherché didactic verse curiosity The Waggon Load of Gold. Issued in two seemingly separately published parts; the work is comprised of a total of sixteen unassociated stanzas calculated to amuse the young reader and each - unusually for chapbook fare of the era - accompanied by illustrations which actually relate to the text; for example the opening couplets of the second part a celebration of the library is partnered with a depiction of a bookcase: 'The chief prize of the whole Here you now may behold 'Tis a library of choice books From the Waggon Load of Gold.' OCLC records a single copy of The Waggon Load of Gold. Part II. at Richmond Public Library Virginia Part I. is apparently unrecorded. The copy retains the original publisher's wrappers bearing the imprint 'London: Printed and published at 60 St. Martin's Lane' with the date recorded as '1820'. This would suggest that the other titles contained within this sammelband - all printed on similar paper stock and some reusing woodcut ornaments - where issued contemporaneously from the same location. .

FIRST EDITION OF A SCARCE AND EXCELLENT WORK THIS SET IN UNCOMMONLY FINE AND WELL-PRESERVED CONDITION and with all half-titles as is often not the case. Sir Walter Scott was considered to be the inventor of the historical novel and the success of his Waverley series was immediate and long lasting throughout the English speaking world. Set shortly after the English Civil War WOODSTOCK was inspired by the legend of the Good Devil of Woodstock which in 1649 supposedly tormented parliamentary commissioners who had taken possession of a royal residence at Woodstock Oxfordshire. The story deals with the escape of Charles II in 1652 during the Commonwealth and his final triumphant entry into London on 29 May 1660. David Hume's HISTORY OF ENGLAND gave Scott most of the historical background. As with all the Waverley novels prior to 1827 WOODSTOCK was published anonymously.

1885réf. 8996N.p.: Privately Printed 1885. First edition. 7x5" 19pp. Vignette on title page. String bound in beige printed card wrappers. Light chipping to edges of wraps clean internally and very good. Rare booklet from one of the early pioneers of the Puget Sound Edward Jay Allen 1830-1915. Unusual for immigrants heading west Allen was college-educated and single. He settled near Olympia in 1852 after his overland journey from Pennsylvania. Interestingly Allen negotiated with the local Native Americans to pay for the land before he took up residence. He played an important role in early surveys and road building in the area before returning east in 1855. This story likely written for his children is told by a fater to his 7-year-old and begins "Once upon a time there was a Prince." An epic battle ensues between the Fairy Godmother and the Great White King to preserve the wildflowers the Prince loved so well. "If you build these Walls of Sand around the Prince's flowers the power of the Great White King shall be naught and the flowers may bloom on forever." OCLC cites a single holding at the University of Pittsburgh and we find no mention of this booklet elsewhere. . Privately Printed unknown
