Curator Notes:

1910 New York Book Co. imprint; the Our Girls Books series of 'fiction for girls'; advertising claims that this publisher's Alger Books for Boys 'sold a million and a half copies in 1909'; Perrault is only author cited on cover and spine (selection includes Bluebeard); more than half the book consists of excerpts from Hawthone's Wonder-Book, and Tanglewood Tales; wraparound cover and spine design crudely simulates a half-leather-with-marbled-boards binding but printed in black and gold on red cloth
