Children's books, whether they educate or inspire, are fundamental to our development. We love books here at James Cummins Bookseller, and for some of us, a favorite children's book is what enticed us to seek out our profession. We are proud to present a catalogue of children's literature that spans from the famed nursery classic History of Goody Two Shoes to Norman Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth. Highlights include first editions of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, the first Fessard edition of Fables de la Fontaine, and the first edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
