A complete, 361-page classic anthology from 1907 designed to guide young readers up a "golden staircase" of historical literature and poetry (and also just looks real pretty on that nursery bookshelf). Includes 200 poems and verses, 40 carols and hymns, and 20 cradle songs - all chosen by Louey Chisholm, with cover and interior illustrations by artist Minnie Dibdin Spooner.
