[14] p.: 4 full-page chromolithographed illustrations and many orange-and-black in-text illustrations: 28 cm. Chromolithographed illustrated stiffened paper covers.

Identified as part of Father Tuck's Nursery Series on the front cover. Identified on the cover as No. 6554. "Designed at the Studios in England" on the front and back cover. The rhyme for each letter is an alternate version of a well-known rhyme ("N is my little nut-tree, but nothing would it bear--but a silver nutmeg and a nasty pear"), each with an illustration. Former owner's named at head of front cover: Fannie Maier. An amusing ABC and an extremely scarce Raphael Tuck publication.
