This series was previously published by Henry A. Young & Co. and
Young & Bartlett. The "Wooden Spoon" was not published until 1877
and thus the early Henry A. Young & Co. and the Young &
Bartlett series only had the first two titles.
Henry A. Sumner & Co. first published this series in 1880.
The plates of the three book series were purchased by Ward and Drummond
in 1866.
Sold individually or as a boxed set. Sumner editions noted in 1880,
1882 and 1884.
