Q: I picked this up today and hoped to find out more about it. I have to tell you how much I enjoyed all of the hard work you’ve put into this site! I love books and I look forward to reading this one.

It is Idylls of the King by Tennyson. I paid $1 for it! It may be worth twice that! Thank you for your information. I’ve bookmarked your site.

A: Your book is part of the Petit Trianon Series and was published in 1905-1906.

It originally was sold within a labeled box.

The paste on (appliqué) on the front cover had the picture of one of four flowers.
(yellow-daffodil, red-carnation, pink-rose, purple-iris)

All of the books in this series are reprints and have limited value.
