About This Item
Melbourne: Nelson, 1987. Hardback small quarto, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), full-page colour drawings (including frontispiece), black & white drawings, minor edgewear jacket, top edge lightly foxed, base spine little rubbed, bookplates, bookshop label front pastedown. Heavy (1.0 Kg), and extra postage may be requested to destinations outside Australia. 320 pp. This anthology, chosen by Barbara Ker Wilson, is arranged in chronological order. Presents an overall picture of the literature that young Australians have enjoyed since the first book for children was published in the colony of New South Wales in 1841. Much of the material presented is from rare and precious volumes, and many of the stories were loved by parents, grandparents and great-grandparents of today's children. The illustrations show how artist style has changed over the years. A wonderful book to add to any literature collection.
