Myths and Legends of the Ages

Lights to Literature: Book One: A First Reader

(Platt & Munk, 1941)
This book happens to offer some insight into publishing history. It is, in most aspects, intermediate between two other versions. One gives only 1941 as its copyright date. I take that to be the earliest. It has a ...
