MY BOOK HOUSE by Olive Beaupre Miller ,in absolutely beautiful condition; excellent, some of the volumes have never been used, 1956 printing of a 1920/50 copyright, 12 volume set including index. Hardback, Each front cover has a picture square which is a gorgeous illustration. The hardcovers go from light green to dark green and light blue to dark blue. This is how they were made. These were purchased as a set,privately owned. Each book has gorgeous illustrations. Volume 2, "Story Time," contains the Story of Little Black Sambo, as some want to know that. I especially like the Character Building Index in volume 12 . See below for fuller description of that. Rich library of classics, world's great epics, and character building literature for children of all ages. Some of the authors include Addison, Alcott, Andersen, Bjornson, Browning, Bryant, Burns, Byron, Cervantes, Chaucer, Coleridge, Dickens, Eliot, Goethe, Harris, Hawthorne, Keats, Longfellow, Riley, Scott, Shakespeare, Shelley, Spenser, Steele, Tennyson, Thackeray, Tolstoy, Whittier, Wordsworth, and more.
