Vintage Children's Classics Book Set in 9 Volumes, 1961, J.G. Ferguson

This delightful set of 9 volumes from The Children's Classics series, published by J.G. Ferguson Publishing Company in 1961, is a nostalgic treasure that looks as joyful on a shelf as it does in a child's hands.

The spines are a mix of coral red, sage green, periwinkle blue, warm tan, and soft pink, each color-blocked with a contrasting panel featuring a gold-embossed illustration of the title's main character.

Titles included are Arabian Nights, Andersen's Fairy Tales (two copies), Robin Hood, King Arthur, Alice in Wonderland, Robinson Crusoe, Tom Sawyer, and Treasure Island. The interiors feature black-and-white illustrations.

Each book stands approximately 8.5 inches tall, and the full set spans about 11 inches across when shelved vertically.

Condition
These are vintage books and show various signs of aging, which may include fading, bumped corners, light scuffing to the cloth covers, and toning to page edges. A few covers show light marks or smudging. All these natural signs of age are what make vintage books such a unique, charming, and cozy design choice!
