The Children's Treasury of Classics
(The Children's Press, 1930)
Rountree's illustrations for the six fables included are excellent, including a color plate for TH which is found in three different editions done by The Children's Press and Collins' Clear-Type Press (1932?). The book ...
Happy Hours in Storyland.
(The SocietyThe University Society, 1970)
Identical with the 1963/68 version of the same book with the same name: why a new copyright? The cover, the title page layout, the location of the publisher, the arrangement of some sections (but apparently not their ...

Stories of Childhood
(The Child's World, Inc., 1968)
DS, LM, MM, GA, The Bundle of Sticks, TH, and SW, all with rather predictable illustrations. A nice selection of songs, poems, and stories otherwise, with mediocre pictures. Compare with the earlier edition (1947) ...
The Family Treasury of Children's Stories.
(Doubleday & Company Inc.,, 1956)
