64pp. One of six titles in the fourth series of miniature books authored by popular children's writer Frances Elizabeth Barrow under the noms de plume Aunt Fanny and Aunt Laura. Noted by Bradbury as "high spots in any miniature book collection," the Aunt Fanny volumes offer stories about common childhood experiences and are known for introducing secular material to the moral and religious content prevailing in children's literature of the time. In this tale, Fanny travels by train and her horizons widen. Spine gilt oxidized, else fine in gilt-stamped dark green publisher's cloth. (Bradbury, p. 187). (1 1/2 by 1 1/8; 38x28mm).
