"Little Wide-Awake, as the anthology is called after the name of one of the most popular children's periodicals of the 19th century, reveals many details of life in the Victorian world with astonishing frankness and great vivacity, especially in the field of social welfare, The religious ideas of the day are expressed in a seection from hundreds of publications by the Religious Tract Society. The anthology contains stories of unexpected horror and of sweetness, more realistic than anything published for children today. In it are fine examples of books of instruction, alphabets and forerunners of the comic strips. Towards the end of the chronological arrangements there are superb examples of poetry & early 'art nouveau' illustrations. Little Wide-Awake, designed in a Victorian typographical style, contains about 60 stories, 150 poems, more than 300 b & w pictures & about 40 pictures in full colour. Its emotions range from horror to wonder - a variety which combines to delight the public of today." Check out the scans. . First U. S. Edtiton. Hard Cover.
