This anthology includes some of the most enduring quality children's literature ever written: excerpts from other books, short stories, poems, etc. Since they were produced in the 1950's, when publishers were not so intimidated by authors' references to God, many stories also contain a healthy dose of "reverence." The set consists of 16 volumes. Their bindings are red with black & gold lettering/decoration and colorful pictorial endpapers.
