Vintage The Blue Fairy Book and Children's Stories from Dickens Set 1949 Edition

Explore classic folklore and Victorian storytelling with this vintage two-volume set from "The Child's Classics" series. Published in 1949 by International Readers League, New York, this collection brings together two distinct literary traditions in matching volumes. This set includes Andrew Lang's famous collection of tales, The Blue Fairy Book, featuring a frontispiece by Frank Godwin. Alongside it is Children's Stories from Dickens, retold by his granddaughter Mary Angela Dickens and others, which includes a frontispiece by Harold Copping. Both books feature vibrant yellow hardcover bindings adorned with dark navy blue artwork. Each book measures approximately 7 5/8 inches tall by 5 1/8 inches wide with varying thickness between the two volumes. The set displays visible dustiness on the covers, normal shelf wear, a tear on the lower back cover of one book, clean interior text pages, and minor page separation near the title page of the Blue Fairy Book volume where the frontispiece page is missing.
