Good stories for great birthdays, arranged for story-telling and reading aloud and for the children's own reading
A 1922 American children's anthology compiled by Frances Jenkins Olcott for Houghton Mifflin in Boston and New York, arranged for storytelling, reading aloud and children's own reading around birthdays. Its four pictures are pen-and-ink line drawings in a historical style: a ship deck with costumed figures, a colonial-dressed man at a wooden shelter, a seated man holding a girl's hands, and a formal dining table with a servant and a child in a high chair. A designer could take from them the clean hatched linework and the warm cream paper tone suited to period-themed editorial layouts.
