Once upon a time, I used every Christmas, to review a batch of 'Children's Books' - a baker's dozen perhaps.

Introduction to the 1st ed. (1950).

FOUR TO FOURTEEN provides a selection of interesting books from which a child's own library can be chosen.

Preface to the 1st ed. (1950).

The arrangement of books in this new edition is similar to that of the previous one.

Preface to the 2nd ed. (1956).
