I have the original receipt showing my mother paid for this set in installments because she wanted me to read from early childhood to young adulthood. Although I am now 80 and I still enjoy the beautiful illustrations and reading the stories, it is time to pass it on to someone else’s child to enjoy.

and “A Parents Guide Book”
Each volume contains numerous stories edited by Olive Beaupre Miller and have Beautiful Color Illustrations. The volumes are unmarked, tight, and square. Bindings are in fine condition. The “parents guide” volume has obviously been used by my parents many times and thus the color of front and back covers is lighter than the main volumes.
