Description

24mo, pp. 31, [1]. Original pale grey paper wrappers pasted to first and last leaves as issued, front wrapper lettered in ink. Wrappers lightly soiled, small repaired tear to front wrapper.

Notes

A Glasgow-printed child's alphabet chapbook with crude woodcuts illustrating each letter. Disparagingly referred to by Roscoe and Brimmell as 'one of Lumsden's poorest productions', it is not without charm. They record 15 locations.
