Q: Hi, Someone gave me this book (Child’s Garden of Verses) a few years back. I would just like to know a little more about it. It doesn’t have a date or anything to that effect nor can I find any other that look like it. Thanks.

A: Your book is part of the Petit Trianon Series and was published in 1901-1902.

During this year the left side of the cover was either beige or pink. The right side had a picture of one of sixteen flowers. Yours is a violet. This reprint originally came in a labeled box.
