Nita and Freddy's Library
| 1. Nita's Music Lesson |
| 2. Young Housekeeper |
| 3. The Red Apple and Other Stories |
| 4. The Iron Boot and Other Stories |
The other two titles are not known with certainty. The first four volumes however are also in Archie Vernon's Library.
I suspect that the last two titles are:
Queer Lesson and Unselfish Freddy
Thomas Y. Crowell introduced this series in 1878.
It appears that Crowell published this series and Archie
Vernon's Series at the same time. The books of this series were cheaper
and had 64 pages as opposed to Archie Vernon's Library books which had
124 pages. More short stories were in the latter series' books.
The titles in this series were later published in Crowell's Sunday School Library, No. 5 and No. 6.
Each book has three illustrations.
Two formats:
Format 1- earlier
Cloth in various colors. A non book
specific illustrated appliqué is surrounded by a black decorative line
drawn cover design. 18 mo.
(Same format as noted in the Curly and Kitty Library)
Format 2
