The jolly and exciting tale of the little boy who lost his red coat and his blue trousers and his purple shoes but who was saved from the tigers to eat 169 pancakes for his supper, has been universally loved by generations of children. First written in 1899, the story has become a childhood classic and the authorized American edition with the original drawings by the author has sold hundreds of thousands of copies. Little Black Sambo is a book that speaks the common language of all nations, and has added more to the joy of little children than perhaps any other story. They love to hear it again and again; to read it to themselves; to act it out in their play.

Anthology includes stories and poems by Juliana Horatia Ewing, the Brothers Grimm, Palmer Cox, Charles Perrault, William Allingham, Arthur Ransome, Oscar Wilde, Hans Andersen and Sarah Orne Jewett.
