Q: I have this book, The Song of Hiawatha, and I need more info on it. It appears to belong to the “Altemus Christmas gift series.”

Can you tell me anything about it?

A: This book is part of the “Christmas Gift Series”. Henry Altemus Company – Christmas Gift Series 65

This 25 volume series of reprints was published between 1906 and 1907. The books originally had a piece of holly attached to the front cover and were sold in a labeled box.
