Golden Press issued this 1980 set of twelve tiny books, first published as Tiny Nonsense Stories in 1949, in a bookcase box built as a city apartment building, its windows, balconies and fire escape crowded w/ animal neighbors. A sign on the front reads Find the Secret Drawer, and the drawer still pulls out for tiny treasures, just as the side panel promises. Volumes 1 to 7 and 9 to 11 are here: Poor Frightened Mr. Pig, The Easter Bunny, The Naughty Little Guest, Happy Valentine, Roger Mouse's Wish, Uncle Quack, The Wonderful Silly Picnic, The Cowboy Kitten, Little Squirrel's Santa Claus and The Two Snowbulls. Mrs. Sheep's Little Lamb and April Fool! are lacking. Each little book, about 2 by 3 inches, carries its own number on the front board, its own ISBN on the rear board, and a pair of dressed-up animals strolling past a painted fence or brick wall. Garth Williams's color pictures fill every page, w/ the same soft, detailed animals that made his name, set to Kunhardt's short, playful stories for the very young. Collectors of Garth Williams, Golden Books and miniature books seek these sets in their original box, which often did not survive. Condition varies volume to volume; please inspect photos carefully. …
