About This Item
Glasgow: Published and Sold Wholesale by J. Lumsden and Son, [s.d., c.1815] 47pp. With eight leaves of woodcuts printed in sanguine on one side of leaf only. Title page and final page of text printed on inside of front and back covers respectively. Original publisher's salmon wrappers. Title in manuscript to upper wrapper, a trifle dust-soiled. Internally clean and crisp. A remarkable survival in the original wrappers of an illustrated collection of four anonymous stories for the 'chickabiddy generation'. Nurse Dandlem narrates to the children of her school the adventure of Wake Wilful, an unlikeable young Yorkshire sailor marooned on an island inhabited by a terrible three-headed giant. In addition to the titular story, the book contains three further morality tales: 'The history of a good boy', 'The history of a bad boy', and 'Duty of good children'. . 16mo.
