Collection of 7 Collier’s Junior Classics:

It contains a sampling of classic literature for boys and girls. It includes: Fiction and biography, folklore and legend, and poetry. Special attention is given to the American scene and American democratic ideals, but many selections cover other cultures, geographical areas, and historical periods. The goal is to stimulate interest in young readers to seek for themselves the books from which the selections have been drawn as well as other good books of similar appeal, and to encourage children to become discriminating, thoughtful, life-time readers. Each book has 380+ pages.

Titles include:

A, B, C: Go! This title includes Nursery Rhymes, Favorite Folk Tales and Best-Loved Poems with subcategories of This Happy Day; Tall People, Short People; Look for a Lovely Thing, The Animal Store, A Funny Thing in Funny Town, There Are Elves and Fairies Yet; City Streets and Country Roads: and Good Night! Good Night! & Stories for Fun.

Once Upon a Time: This title includes: Fables; Folk Tales from Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas; & Modern Fairy Tales.

In Your Own Backyard is a potpourri of Americans. It includes stories of young people growing up in America of yesterday—traveling through the wilderness of covered wagons, pioneering on the plains as well as those of more modern times.

Legends of Long Ago. This title includes: The Arabian Nights, Mythology (Stories of the Gods and Heroes, Tales of Love, and Thunder of the Gods), Epics and Hero Tales & American Tall Tales.

Roads to Greatness. This title includes people from all walks of life. You will read of the pressures that drove Michelangelo, the devotion that characterized the career of ballerina Anna Pavlova. You will see the mischievous Tom Sawyer in the life of his creator, Sam Clemens and many more.

Call of Adventure. Adventure is life—it is facing tasks which seem impossible, conquering fears that halt our progress, and fighting for what we feel is right. Adventure beckons from the Baker Street office of Sherlock Holmes, it calls from outer-space, it whips through the sails of a listing ship.

Gifts From the Past. This title includes The Last of the Mohicans, The Devil Fish, Swiss Family Robinson, Gulliver’s Voyage to Lilliput, Don Quixote, Pilgrims’s Progress, Captains Courageous and others.

These are all in like new condition with beautiful covers and binding. All 7 for $12.00. A beautiful addition to any library and a great way to pass on the love of reading!.
