This nostalgic collection of nursery rhymes, poems, fables, and story excerpts includes both familiar (a passage from "Snow White") and less well known fare ("The Elfman" by John Kendrick Bang). Illustrations by such artists as Kate Greenaway ("Greenway" in the back matter), Randolph Caldecott, and Winslow Homer accompany each entry. The whole is attractive but not a necessary purchase.
