Title: Children's Treasures of Famous Stories
Description: Boston, Lothrop Publishing Company, 1900. Hardcover. Small 4to. Glazed pictorial paper over boards with modern brown cloth tape spine. (78pp).

A tight, decent, quite handleable copy of a title difficult title to find in choice condition. .
