The books selected for The Christmas Stocking Series may well be called Children's Classics. They are:
|
Little Black Sambo A Child's Visit to the Zoo Fairy Tales from Grimm Fairy Tales from Andersen The Night Before Christmas Cinderella and the Sleeping Beauty |
Great care has been taken to make these books attractive. For the cover of each an appropriate panel was painted by a clever artist. These panels, which all have a background of holly-leaves and berries, are reproduced in full color and are very bright and gay. Genuine English vellum cloth is used for the binding. Every volume contains from fifteen to twenty-seven full page pictures in colors, besides from twenty to forty black-and-white illustrations. The type is large and clear and the paper of fine quality. All the books have fancy end-sheets with emblematic designs, and each volume has a specially drawn pictorial title page in colors.
The small size of these books—5 × 3 inches—together with the gay covers, make them especially pleasing to children.
Price 35 cents per volume
