Description: 2 Books! THE GOLDEN GOOSE BOOK With Drawings by L. Leslie Brooke A VERY LITTLE CHILD'S BOOK OF STORIES Written and Compiled by Ada M. Skinner and Eleanor L. SkinnerIllustrated in Color by Jessie Willcox Smith Description THE GOLDEN GOOSE BOOKHardcover with unclipped dust jacket; 96 Pages; Size Approx. 7 3/4 X 10 1/4. Published by Clarion Books, copyright 1992. Description: "The Golden Goose Book, first published in 1904, contains the classic stories of 'The Golden Goose,' 'The Three Bears,' 'The Three Pigs,' and 'Tom Thumb.' These beloved Mother Goose tales are accompanied by sparkling new reproductions from the original color and black and white illustrations by L. Leslie Brooke. Brooke populated these tales with realistically drawn and wonderfully expressive animals, like the affably self-confident Three Pigs, and with amusingly caricatured yet warmly human people -- from the wrinkled, crafty old man in 'The Golden Goose' to the noble King Arthur and his queen in 'Tom Thumb.' His pictures, in the words of children's literature specialist May Hill Arbuthnot, 'do more than illustrate--they interpret the text so vividly that they become the visual embodiment of the words.' This new Clarion edition brings the charm of Mother Goose stories and the wit and style of Brooke's art to a new generation of readers.A VERY LITTLE CHILD'S BOOK OF STORIESHardcover with bonded-leather spine; 227 Pages; Size Approx. 7 3/4 X 9 1/2.Published by Children's Classics, copyright 1990. Description: "This collection of stories and poems has been gathered, in part, from a variety of children's books and, in part, written by Ada M. and Eleanor L. Skinner themselves. In their search for material fro the very little child, the Skinner sisters have selected three categories in which to concentrate their efforts; the world of nature (the out of doors), stories and poems with Mother Goose characters and settings (if not Mother Goose tales themselves), and stories and poems that center about familiar things and relate the kind of simple incidents that occur in the everyday life of the little child." (from the foreword) "Besides being a handsome addition to any home library, this series features genuine bonded-leather spines stamped in gold, full-color illustrations, and high-quality acid-free paper that will enable these books to be passed from one generation to the next."

About Us:Rivendell Antiquarian Books sells used rare, vintage and collectable books predominantly from pre 1970. We have been sellers of antiquarian books for over 20 years, and our experience helps ensure quality descriptions of our rare and collectable books. Be assured that we want your experience with Rivendell Antiquarian Books to be enjoyable and problem free. We believe that it is a travesty to simply throw away a used book when there is little or nothing wrong with it - we believe in giving each book the chance of finding a new home. We appreciate the impact a good book can have. We know the excitement of a new page turner, or the familiar joy of an old favorite, and we find satisfaction in putting older, and often scarce books in the hands of people who have the same love for old books that we do.Customer Service:Rivendell Antiquarian Books is committed to ensuring each customer is entirely satisfied with their puchase and our service. If you have any issues or concerns please contact us and we will be more than happy to help.Our books have been inspected carefully by hand by experienced book valuers to ensure the condition description is as accurate as possible for this exact copy pictured. If you have questions about the book before or after purchasing, please feel free to contact us!Packaging:We take pride in packaging our books for safe delivery, and if you check our feedback, you will see this reflected in the comments of many pleased customers. For nearly all of our books, we use a specially designed boxing system from IPS (Inovative Packaging Solutions) located in York, PA. These media shipping boxes are designed to conform to the size of the book, securing it and preventing it from bumping around during shipping. The end result is a box which provides a double thickness of cardboard covering the front and back of the book; actually almost like a box within a box. The outer layer of cardboard extends beyond the ends of the inner "box" which very efficiently protects the corners of the book from being bumped and damaged by the sometimes rough handling packages receive in transit. In addition we place the book in a plastic bag to help guard against moisture if a package is left out in the elements.Delivery:We aim to get all books shipped within 24 hours of order except on weekends. We can't control the delivery time once a book leaves our hands, but most of the time USPS is prompt in delivery, and the expected delivery time given by eBay is usually fairly accurate. Because we use media mail to keep costs down, it does take a little longer for delivery, and occasionally packages get delayed in the mail system. If for some reason your order has not arrived within the expected time frame, please get in contact with us so that we can try to help you.
