Description: Philadelphia & Toronto, Winston Co. N D Colored illustrations to each page . Small quarto brown decorated cloth (rebacked/tips worn) (80pp but unpaginated) titlepage supplied in facsimile. Some marginal tears not affecting the printed area and newer EPs. A few other signs of use but in all a neat tight book. First 23pp have Hoffman's stories and pictures; 24-90 are NEW but IMITATIVE stories depicting gluttony, liars, thief, Laziness, cry baby, envious, dirty, cruel, slovenly, proud, discontent, idleness, heedlessness, simplicity, prying etc. The last 5 stories are less like Hoffman though one is about truancy, all illustrated.
