The Story of the Stimpcett family.
"Fireside Chronicles Of The Family Story-Teller", By Abby Morton Diaz. Illustrated by "Boz" with many etchings throughout including a frontispiece. Boston: D. Lothrop And Company, 1882. First Edition. This is a wonderful antique children's book.
This book has 87 titled engravings appearing throughout the book helping it tell its story. Amazing. It definitely shows ‘wear’ but that bestows a sense of authenticity and history on it. This is a wonderful antique children's book and should be HANDLED WITH CARE as it has been read and re-read over so many ages. You will enjoy FEELING THEIR STORY not just reading about it. 256 pages.
The Joy of Reading can be about more than WHAT is read. It can ALSO BE ABOUT HOW or in WHAT FORM it is read.
This book is one in a GROUP OF BOOKS offered on Craig’s List by this seller where each has a strong literary pedigree, is also rather old, and have been passed down through generations. Physically they have a patina which some may call stains or other small bits of wear. Reading a book of this sort can bestow a feeling of appreciation of the effort put into its creation by the author and of others who have enjoyed reading the book before.
