Should you love, as I do, young children stories and school books, both 19th century to vintage, I think you will be delighted with the findings. As early school books are one of my favorites, I would like to offer a few other treasures from these primary years such as the slate board, pencil boxes, book carriers and even a slate pencil or two. They just seem to go with early school books.

So if reading is your past time, especially mid to late Victorian or even into the early 20th century, I hope you will pull up a chair to browse the shelf of the books available.
