An absolutely delightful book, the contents tell stories of "Our Pets": Charley's Pet, Jamie's Pet, Jenny's Pet, Johnnie's Pet, Susan's Pets, Katie's Pets, Mary's Pet, and Harry and Nelly's Pets. Illustrated cover against a purple background. Eight brightly full color and beautiful illustrations throughout. Each plate is accompanied by four pages of lessons for children drawn from the animal depicted and paginated separately. Text is large print. Advertisements from the publisher within endpapers. 32 pages.Covers quite rubbed, edges little worn, printed paper over the boards worn, with small piece missing on back cover. Textblock has detached from the backstrip, yet present. The eight plates are bright and in good condition. Child's name and address in pencil, dated Dec 62 (1862?). The publication date given above is an estimate only, there being no date given in the book. Even with its flaws, this is a whimsical little antiquarian children's book, full of adventure for today's children to discover and gently enjoy. Full refund if not satisfied.…

Store description
Since 2005, Shelley and Son Books has been passionate about books, and preserving their importance for current and future generations. We believe that virtue and beauty have a close relationship. By reading we gain knowledge. In knowledge we find things that inform our choices and beliefs. Therefore, as booksellers, we see that books have an aesthetic value and a heuristic value. We specialize in The Inklings, primarily "The Seven'": C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, G. K. Chesterton, George MacDonald, Owen Barfield and Charles Williams. A sub-specialty is our significant collection of Christian Theology. But you'll also find works across the centuries, first editions, signed copies, and even modern books, too, across a broad selection of categories and genres. Customer service is of utmost importance to us, and our friendly staff is always happy to help. We assure our clients books of quality, as each copy is carefully graded and shipped with care. Located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, we can be found on Main Street in Hendersonville, North Carolina, (just south of Asheville). We are primarily an online bookstore, but we invite you to make an appointment for an on-site visit! Shelley and Son Books is owned by Stan Shelley. …
