Published by Studio Vista, 1971, hardcover, illustrated, index, 144 pages, 22.5 cms x 30.5 cms, condition: as new.

In this magnificent volume, Eric Quayle describes children's books from the late 16th century to the present day. He illustrates it from his extensive collection of these ephemeral and often elusive works, reproducing the hand-coloured frontispiece, the woodcuts or copper-plate engravings that helped our great-great-grandparents spell out stories like 'Cinderella' or 'The Butterfly's Ball'. Many of the books he discusses were brought quite cheaply, though some of the rare first editions were costly acquisitions. But the collector today still has many opportunities to explore new by-ways, and, with the help of this book, he will be able to buy with confidence in his specialist knowledge. He/she will have, too, the double satisfaction of creating a delightful library and making a sound investment.

The author, Eric Quayle was a noted British bibliophile, collector and author. Over his lifetime he built up a substantial collection of books (16,000 volumes at the time of his death), which included many "rare and first editions" covering a wide range of topics in "literature and science" and a collection of children's books with "many titles (...) known by only the single copy in his possession".
