Lothrop & Co. in the Starlight Stories series, written under the name Mrs. L. M. Childs. The moral narrative follows a young boy's change of heart after receiving a Scripture ticket at Sunday school, and the volume pairs that prose w/ natural history verse including The Autumn Bird. The lead story, The Sabbath School Ticket, sets the boy's conscience and reform against a severe winter. Wood-engraved illustrations, decorative initial letters and pastoral tailpiece vignettes run through the text. A wood-engraved frontispiece depicts a country church w/ its steeple and graveyard path. The rear cover advertises Daniel Lothrop's juvenile periodicals Wide Awake, launched in 1875 at $2.00 a year, and Babyland, launched in late 1877 at $0.50 a year under editor Ella Farman Pratt. The lower rear border carries the notation PATENT APPLIED FOR, matching Lothrop's 1877-1878 binding design patent for the pictorial pocket series. Lothrop produced these small moral volumes as seasonal reward runs. Lydia Maria Child's work in early American children's literature began w/ the periodical The Juvenile Miscellany. Child was an American author, abolitionist and journalist whose moral stories were carried by denominational and educational publishers of the period. …
