With 35 wonderful (the re-published edition with 28 plates) full-page single-sided black and white engravings by Arthur Boyd Houghton, the engraved illustrations from famed Victorian era wood engravers and illustrators George and Edward Dalziel. Like George du Maurier, who was a friend of his, Arthur Boyd Houghton had been afflicted by the loss an eye when he was young. However, he continued to paint as well as illustrate: among his paintings were charming paintings of family life, some jewel-like pictures of children, and some small, slightly disturbing works depicting street scenes (Lambourne 371, 183, 133). Lengthy pencil note to the front paste down 'Xmas 1865 - This year also saw 'Home Thoughts and Home Scenes', a book with 35 drawings of children by A. Boyd Houghton by Routledge, 1865, which was afterwards republished as 'Happy Day Stories'.

His style in them is as far removed as possible from his later impressions, therefore the book is essential to a collection of his work.' Spine repaired with webbing exposed to the spine edges, plate number 6 with bottom corner missing, 'Age and Youth' poem with tear to the top edge, 'The Sports of Childhood Show the Future Man' poem with repaired tear across the centre of the leaf, heavy foxing to the front and rear end papers and to the margins of the plates and text block. Extremely scarce. Member of the P.B.F.A. ILLUSTRATED (Picture Book).…

Five volumes. Bound in contemporary three quarter green calf with five raised bands, decoration and titles in gilt to the spines. Marbled boards. Top edge gilt. Marbled endpapers. Each volume with a tissue guarded frontispiece illustration by A. Jules Goodman and decorated title page. All volumes are in very good condition, the bindings sound with a little rubbing to the extremities and uniform fading of the spines. The contents with the occasional foxing spot to the margins are otherwise clean throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. Quite scarce in this form. A very attractive set of the "extra Christmas stories", previously published in the Charles Dickens edited magazine "Household Words" and "All the Year Round", presented here in a similar size and format to Dickens' better known seasonal novellas which include A Christmas Carol.
