This important publication from Mary Cooper was aimed, almost exclusively, at the juvenile market as the preface makes plain"And though these ingenious Tales are more immediately designed for the innocent Amusement of Children, they may not perhaps be wholly unentertaining to those of more advanced age and riper Judgement." The next recorded edition of this compilation was issued in 1770 under the title "Queen Mab", with 9 woodcut headpieces, but without the frontispiece. 650 0 Women |vPictorial works |vEarly works to 1800. 650 0 Girls |vPictorial works |vEarly works to 1800. 650 0 Bees |vJuvenile fiction. 650 0 Birds |vJuvenile fiction. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008117480 650 0 Mice |vJuvenile fiction. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008107739 650 7 Bees. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00829774 650 7 Birds. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00832970 650 7 Mice. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01019337 650 7 Inscriptions |y18th century. |2rbprov |3NjP 650 7 Markings |y18th century. |2rbprov 655 7 Fiction. |2lcgft |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026339 655 7 Fairy tales. |2rbmscv 700 1 Boitard, Louis-Philippe, |dactive 1733-1770, |eillustrator. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nr92033346 700 1 Parnell, Thomas, |d1679-1718, |econtributer. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n50050777 700 1 Cooper, Mary, |d-1761, |ebookseller. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nr96009291 740 0 Blue bird 740 0 Fair one with golden locks 740 0 Golden bough 740 0 Invisible prince 740 0 Little good mouse 740 0 Orange tree and the bee 740 0 Princess Rosetta 740 0 Fairy tale in the ancient English style 740 0 Queen Mab's song 902 jba |bo |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20200106 914 (OCoLC)on1008494332 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240306 |eprocessed |f1008494332 919 (OCoLC)ocn177708257 950 |c2023-09-18 04:17:53 US/Eastern |b2021-07-12 19:34:48 US/Easternfalse
