¶An attractive example of an early McLoughlin brothers children's publication prior to their successful expansion into colour printing in the 1860s. The contemporaneously hand-coloured woodcut illustrations, taking up half or more of each page with verse beneath, are by Robert H. Elton, engraver and printer, who founded Elton & Co. with John McLouglin in 1840.
