Ahhh – who doesn't love a stack of cheap and cheerful vintage children's books? Do you know how many books there were in this classic series of the 1950s and 60s? And which ones have multiple covers, multiple illustrators, and even in one case two different authors? This video includes an interesting history (well, I think it's interesting, but then I'm certifiably book crazy), as well as all the covers and even a selection of illustrations from *every book* in the series.
If you've watched the video and now you're looking for a printed list of all the books in the series, along with authors, illustrators and cover variants, as well as info on which are the most valuable, head on over to my Junior Deluxe Editions illustrated bibliography page!
