This is the second collection of pieces for children, both prose and poem, selected by the Children's Book Committee of the Child Study Association of America (a committee composed of parents, teachers and writers). The stories and verses are all charmingly illustrated by Barbara Cooney, and several are by important writers such as Victor Hugo, Christina Rossetti and Robert Louis Stevenson. The book would have been a wonderful resource for any parent with a child demanding a new story at bedtime. Barbara Cooney (1917-2000) was an American writer and illustrator of 110 children's books, published over 60 years. She received two Caldecott Medals for her work on "Chanticleer and the Fox" (1958) and "Ox-Cart Man" (1979), and a National Book Award for "Miss Rumphius" (1982). Her books have been translated into 10 languages. Our book is in fair condition, given its age and probable pattern of use. The yellow cloth covers are badly ageworn and grubby, with damage to corners, top & tail of the spine, and bottom edges. Title etc in blue letters on front and spine remains clear and crisp. Bright blue endpapers intact and clean. Two names inscribed in sepia ink on the reverse of the front fep - one dated 1947, 2 years before the date of publication of the book. Perhaps the names of the children being read to? Inside, the binding is firm with no loose pages; all pages clean and bright; no foxing. Just one full-page illustration has been torn at the bottom and neatly mended with sellotape, which is now rather brown with age; and there is about 1.5 cm of weakness at the bottom of the final 15 leaves.
