Pretty children's book comes with morality message
Published by John Newbery c.1770, 'A Little Pretty Pocket Book…' and its companion 'Little Song Book' is a very small work indeed at little more than 3in (7.5cm) tall, but the latter includes some 54 woodcut illustrations and accompanying verses related to children’s games and pastimes.
Newbery’s first children’s book, it was initially published in 1744, but no copies of any editions…
