This lot comprises ten volumes of Arthur Mee’s Children’s Encyclopedias, a beloved series known for its engaging text and detailed illustrations. Alongside these encyclopedias is a copy of Paul Hamlyn’s Children’s Bible. These books were designed to educate and entertain young readers, covering a wide range of topics from history and nature to science and geography. The encyclopedias feature colourful plates and informative articles, making learning an enjoyable experience.
Condition and Collectibility
These books show signs of age and use, consistent with their vintage nature. The covers exhibit wear, and the pages may have some foxing or minor damage. Despite this, the books remain largely intact and present a charming aesthetic. This set would appeal to collectors of vintage children’s literature, enthusiasts of Arthur Mee’s work, or those seeking a nostalgic addition to a library.
