My Very Own Fairy Stories Book by Johnny Gruelle

Sorry, this item is sold out.



This delicately lovely book was first published in 1917 by the P.F. Volland Company of Chicago, but has been out of print for over 40 years, according to the Gruelle family. Decorating all pages are whimsical, jewel-like, full-color illustrations--among the most memorable examples of the “Sunbonnet” period of children’s book illustrations of the period from 1905-1920.
