Description I have what I think is a complete series of the "Storytime Treasury: A McCall Book" series. Each book contains two classic fairytales - some that are familiar and some that are not - and are hardcover bound. They have glossy, beautiful illustrations inside and are about 50 pages each. An example title page for one of these books reads: The Enchanted Princess The House in the Forest Copyright 1969 by Fratelli Fabbri Editori, Milan, Italy Published by Fratelli Fabbri Editori Publishers, Milan, Italy and The McCall Publishing Company, New York, New York Printed in Italy Library of Congress Card Number: #77-98319 I entered that number into the Library Of Congress website and no results came up. Titles are: (Photo One) Cinderella/The Pied Piper of Hamelin The Ugly Duckling/The Princess Who Tended Geese Hansel and Gretel/Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves Snow White/The Little Tin Soldier (Photo Two) Little Red Riding Hood/The Frog Prince The Enchanted Princess/The House in the Forest Hans in Luck/The Three Little Pigs Beauty and the Beast/The Tinder Box (Photo Three) Sleeping Beauty/The Wolf and the Seven Baby Goats Blue Beard/The Ogre's Three Golden Hairs Puss N Boots/Aladdin and his Magic Lamp Thumbelina/The Sheperdess and the Chimneysweep (Photo Four) Rapunzel/The Treasure of the Three Brothers The Emperor's New Clothes/The Three Dogs The Golden Bird/The Three Musicians The Nightingale/Abdullah of the Land (Photo Five) The Golden Fish/The Goatherd and the King's Daughter Jack and the Beanstalk/The Bremen Town Musicians Five Peas in a Pod/Prince Ahmed The Blind Sheik/The Donkeyskins I would like to sell this as a collection, if possible. Thank you for all of your help! Jessica

I have Cinderella/ The Pied Piper of Hamelin. I love this book. My neighbor used to read it to me everytime I came over. She gave it to me a few years ago. I would love to have the rest of the collection. the illustrations are amazing. - Rhonda [email protected]

Re: Storytime Treasury: A McCall Book Collection

I owned the Puss N Boots/Aladdin book as a child, eventually lost it, and purchased it again online because I loved it so much. I had NO idea there were other books in the series! I would absolutely LOVE to own the rest of them. Wow. Did you sell this collection yet? My email is leebagluck at gmail.

Re: Storytime Treasury: A McCall Book Collection

I also have this collection. Handed down to me, by my grandmother age now 97 years old. This is a wonderful book collection to have, and this is the first site that I have been able to locate these exact books.

I have many more old books, but great ones.

Thank you for the information that you provided, but a 1.00 each for a collection of 20, I would walk away from that one, these are not the average Childrens books and are in deed as it is written, Treasury. How can you put a price on these.. it is hard to. but not a $1.00 each.

I have to wonder, what the real value is on these other than, for my personal reasons being great memories.

Thank You,

Teri Parsons
