Description: The Children's Encyclopedia: Volumes 1-10 by Arthur Mee - Vintage Hardback BooksThe Children’s Encyclopedia originated as a fortnightly magazine that could be bound on completion. It proved a huge hit on publication. Dubbed ‘Journalist in chief to British youth’, Arthur Mee's informal yet clear writing style standing in contrast to much other educative materials of the time, making it a vital read for young auto-didactics: countless life-long educations began with Mee showing that knowledge could be fun, inclusive and best approached with a sense of enthused fascination. The Children’s Encyclopedia continued to be revised and published until 1964, long after Mee’s death in 1943. His legacy was more than this book, great though it was, but in the way he instinctively knew that knowledge was not the preserve of the few, but could, and should, bring light into all young lives. Books are in good condition, but the material is shedding. Amount of scuffing on the covers and spines varies book to book. On all books, the edges of the books are worn, likely due to the age. When the books are opened, some corners of pages are creased and folded, but no foxing or tears are present. Please note any measurements are approximate. Thank you for supporting our charity.
