W. & R. Chambers, Limited (London & Edinburgh), Undated - probably circa 1910
A Children's Book of Verse Illustrated with Charm, Imagination and Humor
We have a number of listings for collectible books this week. See below for combined shipping availability for this item, our general shipping polices and links to our offerings. We have a 100% positive feedback rating and a good return policy, also described below. Please bid with confidence.
We are pleased to offer this absolutely wonderful old children's book, one of our tip-top favorites!
The book is fairly large and has pictorial boards, front and back.
All of the animals from Frolic Farm are extra happy. Well, maybe not that goose that just got run over!
The pigs are working hard, but they are smiling, too, and the kittens are having a grand time!
The inscription from "Aunt Anna", dated 1912.
The title page. There is no date printed.
The table of contents. The cover is detached from the binding after the front endpaper. There is a similar split at the Christmas poem.
Here are the twelve poems.
Each chapter is presented with one page of verses interspersed with brown line drawings.
Opposite each page of verse, a full-page color illustration appears.
Another poem.
The flying pigs. Notice the airplane in the upper right. The Wright Brothers first powered flight was in 1903. Circa 1910 seems a reasonable assumption for the publication of this book.
There are a decent number of cats represented. These are shipwrecked.
Christmas time at Frolic Farm.
SIZE 9 x 13 inches.
CONDITION As shown above, the cover is split from the binding in two places but is still attached. There is corner and edge wear to the cover. All pages are attached and are in very good condition with no tears that we saw and with only a very few little spots or stains here and there.
SHIPPING We can combine shipping with some other items, depending on size and weight. Assuming this is the extra item in a multiple purchase (that is, if another item is heavier), the additional charge would be $1.00 (US Media Mail). See below for more on our shipping policies.
WHY IS THIS INTERESTING? Creative, enchanting and often quite funny! We laugh every time we look a this one...

SALES & SHIPPING INFORMATION
PAYMENT: As required by eBay, we list only PayPal as a means of payment.
SHIPPING: We are usually able to ship within 3 days of payment verification. With rare exceptions, we ship through the United States Postal Service, and we try to offer the most appropriate postage categories. We add the cost of postal insurance to our shipping charges for items above $50 in value.
COMBINED SHIPPING: We sometimes specify combined shipping discounts with our listings, but we will offer such discounts in many other cases even when not pre-quoted. Assuming that multiple items can be appropriately shipped in one box, we begin with the charge for the heaviest item and add between $1 and $5 for extra items, depending on weight and additional packing material needed. The added charge could be more for unusually heavy or large items. International customers: your combined shipping is different and hard to quote ahead of time, but we will offer discounts whenever possible.
INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: Bidding from international customers is welcome! We accept PayPal payments only from other countries; we do not accept checks or currency. As noted above, we will combine shipping for international customers whenever possible and include the savings in our shipping charge. Because there are so many different international rates, we cannot quote the combined shipping rates ahead of time. We ship using Priority International Mail through the US Postal Service if a package weighs four pounds or more. When it weights less, we also offer First Class International as a option. Please be aware that Priority International packages can be tracked while still in the United States, and they can be insured. First Class International cannot be insured, and so the customer assumes a risk for this less expensive choice. Also, please be aware that we do not mark items as "gifts" or report lower sales values on customs forms. We are happy to have sold a wide variety of items to our international friends and to have received good customer satisfaction feedback from them.
RETURN POLICY: We have a 100% satisfaction guaranteed policy! Returns are accepted for refund within a 7-day period of the receipt of the merchandise. We will pay return shipping when defects or item characteristics were not properly noted in the original sales listing. In other cases, the buyer pays return shipping. Returns must be received in the same condition as when the item was sent. Most of our transactions are trouble-free, but we suggest you contact us if a problem does arise so we can mutually try to arrive at a satisfactory solution.
