412pp, 4pp of publisher's adverts at rear printed with colour illustrations, tissue-guarded colour plate frontispiece and six further colour plates illustrating scenes from Pilgrim's Progress, hundreds of further illustrations in text. Quarter-bound in green cloth over pictorial boards, black endpapers. Small 4to. Boards worn all over, heavily rubbed, chipped and scuffed on edges with some paper loss, rounded on corners, spine faded, rear board toned. Front hinge cracked almost along the complete length, with webbing visible, resulting the volume being significantly loose. Prize presentation label on front paste down, indicating the volume was presented to Edna Davis in January 1911 by the Christchurch Baptist Sunday School. Text block edges toned and rubbed. Tissue guard toned and spotted. Some spotting, toning and signs of fingering throughout volume, with a couple of short, closed tears at page edges in places. A collection of stories, articles and poetry aimed at Christian children. A hard to find volume with some delightful illustrations, even if the stories and poetry seem a little moralistic for today's tastes.
