This 15 volume series of children’s stories was published between 1908 and 1926. The books are frequently stated to be part of the Young People’s Library because the title pages note “Young People’s Library” at the top. Altemus used the plates of the latter series for this set of books. These books however are part of their own series in which the volumes had linen covers.

Another frequent error occurs when dating these books. Note on the title page that the copyright 1898 by Henry Altemus is shown. This is the Altemus copyright which is not the same as the publication date.

The books had a number of different cover pictures. This one was used between 1908 and the early teens.

All of these books came in a labeled box. It is shown below.
