New York : Cramer-Tobias-Meye, Inc. 1946, printed as an advertizing booklet, this one for Hobb Jewelry Co. in Dyersburg, Tenn whose blurb is printed in on the back panel; paper covers and pages; full coloured pictures on each spread facing text with wood grained side panel and some additional smaller illustrations; oblong, 8.5x7.5" ; np. Softcover. Toploader medium softcover, advertizing, story.

Traditional stories and carols, The Legend of the Rose, The Carol of the Beasts, etc. Quite lurid colours for Duvoisin due to the printing process, but an interesting item for the collector. Scarce, with one copy in WorldCat. A nice giveaway that was probably used and discarded.

Price: $22.00
