In 1928 the publishers of My Bookhouse printed so many versions of the set that it would take a doctoral candidate to sort them out. – as you will discover below. Both the 1920-21 black faux leather six volume set and the 1925 green faux leather six volume set were re-printed.
AND it was in this year that the publishers decided to expand the 6 volume set to 12 volumes, presumably to make it more child-friendly. Each volume was broken into two. "In The Nursery," for example, became "In The Nursery"; and "Story Time." The text and illustrations are essentially the same as in the original edition – perhaps even a little brighter. In addition to the green and black faux leather bindings, a red binding was added. CLICK HERE for the RED COVER editions
Finally, they introduced a variant image for the end-papers. (See images to the right) Some 1928 volumes have the first, some the second. Listed below are some of the faux green leather volumes we have in our inventory. Should you be seeking others, please contact us
