The World and Its People: Little Folks of Other Lands
London, Edinburgh and New York T. Nelson & Sons Ltd. 1920 Decorative Cloth Good W. Foster et al
Contains 12 full page colour illustrations and many more part page colour and black and white illustrations. Divided into three main sections: Little Folks in Hot, Cool and Cold Lands, it really is quite a far ranging cultural study from a period in time, i.e. 1920. Everything is based upon the colour of the children, be it white, brown, black, red and yellow, but from this starting position there is a remarkable amount of social and cultural information that is explained. The illustrations really help the descriptions and it appears that some of the illustrations are based upon photographs. Corners worn, top / bottom of spine bumped. Some grubbiness to boards and internally with the occasionaly closed tear. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

Tiger Tim's Annual 1952
London Amalgamated Press Ltd. 1951 Hardcover Very Good
This was the annual produced for the Playbox and Rainbow weekly comics. Contains the usual mixture of stories and games / quizzes. What strikes me is how unacceptable much of the content is by today's standards. There is the story - 'The School Plump Boy Enjoys a Boat Race Picnic', which is about Percy, the 'school fat boy'. And then there is Policeman Sambo, 'marching up and down his beat, seeing naughty little darkies do not run across the street.' What a difference 60 years makes! It also contains well known characters from the weekly comics: the Brownie Boys, Greedy Gregory, Porky and the Bruin Boys, Gollywogs, Charlie Cheese and Maurice Mouse to name a few. Christmas dedication on front pastedown and book belongs to filled in, no other marks. Corners worn, one corner slightly bent, backstrip faded. Otherwise this is a remarkably clean, inside and out and I suspect unread annual.
