Children's literature 1850 and up

April 4, 2004 9:10 AM

Online collection of children's literature circa 1850 and up. Primarily American and British, from thrilling stories of the ocean to a peep at the beasts. Every page (and even the spine) digitized in both JPEG and PDF format, and in some cases color-corrected. (Similar collections have been posted here previously)

Darn, ya got me; I thought it said "peep at the bReasts." I have a feeling I'm not alone.

Oh, lovely, lovely post. This is pretty much why I wanted a MeFi membership - people find the most amazing sites and they don't get a lot of comments telling them what a good job they did. So from one newbie to another - good job!

Although, like wsg, I also read it as "breasts".
