The Children's Wonder Book in Colour (1948)

The Children’s Wonder Book in Colour was one of a midcentury annual series of lavishly illustrated gift anthologies for children, mixing short stories, fairy tales, poems, and educational stories from well-known authors and illustrators. There are several vivid tipped-in colour plates in addition to text illustration. See photo of contents for detailed description of the contents.
