Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good -. No Jacket. Anthology of 28 short stories and poetry sections featuring female heroines. Richly illustrated with B&W line drawings and (count not listed) full color plates. Pages are not numbered. 16 popular authors listed with some of the other works not attributed to any particular author. The illu…strations are also from different people not identified except for their signatures on illustrations. Herbert Strang was the pseudonym of two English authors, George Herbert Ely (1866¿1958) and Charles James L'Estrange (1867¿1947). They specialized in writing adventure stories for boys, both historical and modern-day. Both men were staff members of Oxford University Press, which published their books, giving them a patina of social status and approval for the parents of their intended audience. That pseudonym was also employed for several series of anthologies, works "edited by Herbert Strang" that included The Big Book of School Stories for Boys and The Oxford Annual for Scouts. There was in addition an anthology series for girls by "Mrs. Herbert Strang", who was also given as the author of some adventure books for girls including one of the stories in this collection. The full color illustration pasted to the cover was the illustration from the story "Winona" attributed to Mrs. Herbert Stang. It is signed by the artist "G. Clark", who I assume, was George Merritt Clark (1853-1904) although nothing in the text confirms this assumption. Hardcover has decorated green paper boards with green cloth spine, white lettering on spine & front, and one of the full color illustrations pasted on front cover. Spine torn along rear, stabilized with tape. Text appears complete with the illustration matching the front cover torn out but laid in. Rear facing end-paper torn out, front facing end paper has prior owner name & info, but text tightly bound, clean and unmarked. Last page discolored from newsprint no longer there. No copyright, printing or edition dates. Other books for sale at this time date this edition to prior to 1920 based on inscriptions, awards laid-in, etc. 1900 is in line with fashions in illustrations and condition of this copy. A reprint edition circa 1934 has cloth boards & DJ. The edition for sale probably was not issued with a jacket. Of course, no ISBN, LCCN nor MSR. Prior Owner Name No Value.
