Author: Callcott, Lady [ Maria ]
Title: Little Arthur's History Of England
Description: John Murray, 1845, 15th thousand Cloth, P. 261pp+2pp publishers adverts, title vignette, the book is partly disbound, and at some time has been 'repaired' using cotton thread in an attempt to re-sew the gathers. The book also has a plain brown cloth recovering with a small paper title label to the upper cover. One guesses that the book was much loved & upon falling apart due to too much reading, a child or parent, attempted to rescue the book. The book now more of a charming memento than a readable book. Hardback , no dustjacket. ¶ An early edition of a popular child's history by Lady Maria Callcott [ 1785 - 1842 ] author, illustrator & traveller.
