The Parker collection features many examples of early children's books such as this chapbook dating from c1800.

Mr and Mrs J F Parker collected children's books published from 1830 up to the end of the nineteenth century. The Parkers collaborated in their collecting with Mrs Mildred Berkeley who specialised in pre-1830 moral stories and chapbooks. Her books were acquired by the Parkers on her death and are now one of the strengths of the collection.
