Series Notes:
1. The first 21 books were published in 1905. Most of the books were published in the same format as is seen in the series but not as part of a series in 1903 and 1904.
2. In about 1907, only volumes numbered 1,4,5,6,8,17 made up the series. At that time #22-Delight was newly added to this series.
3. Eleven of the deleted books became the Cherrycroft Series without any format change.
4. A number of these books without format change were later part of the Little Men and Women Series.
5. The original copyrights are noted after the book titles.
6. The series continued publication until 1911.

Advertising Flyer

 

A new advertising flyer has been discovered for series #56. It was found in a Young People's Library-Format 3 book which was published in 1905.
This two page pamphlet notes that books #17-21 were in preparation meaning that the earlier numbered books were published in a separate print run- probably early 1905- whereas the last few books were probably published together in late 1905.
