Originally published in 1918, this is a wonderful book of things for children, young adults or 'handy' grown-ups to make, full of great project pieces. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
