Rare & Out-of-Print Children's Fiction
Here you'll find used, rare and out-of-print children's fiction: chapter books, story collections and classic juvenile novels from many eras. Highlights include Leo Politi's Song of the Swallows, Frances Hodgson Burnett's Two Little Pilgrim's Progress and Henry A. Shute's The Real Diary of a Real Boy, the last illustrated by Tasha Tudor.
The shelves also hold lesser-known gems such as Judith St. George's The Girl with Spunk and Charles Battell Loomis's Yankee Enchantments. Many are earlier editions and long-unavailable printings that collectors and nostalgic readers seek out, often with period illustrations and original dust jackets.
Because each book is used or rare, condition and availability differ between copies. When a childhood favorite turns up, order it online before it goes.
