How do we acquire specific images about other countries? In part, they are formed through unintentional childhood familiarization. This facsimile reprint collection of fourteen juvenile books in English—featuring Japan in the early nineteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century—examines how the specific images of Japan and the Japanese developed among young readers in English-speaking countries. It includes Isaac Taylor’s Scenes in Asia, the first example of a children’s book featuring Japan; William Dalton’s English Boy in Japan, which is the first juvenile story set in Japan; missionary books, including chapters on Japanese boys and girls; the very successful The Eastern Wonderland by D. G. Angus in which the Japanese narrator writes about Japan as a country more wondrous than Alice in Wonderland. The set concludes with two Geography textbooks from the early twentieth century which for the first time introduced industrial Japan to an English young readership. All illustrations and plates in colour are reproduced and provide very attractive visual sources, too.

This collection is a reprint of forty-three titles bound in one volume. The chapbook was a popular publication in Britain, sold cheaply, at a penny or so. As publishing became a prosperous business at the end of the eighteenth century, adult readers took to new media like magazines or newspapers and the chapbook decreased in popularity. However, the chapbook for children became popular and survived until the end of the nineteenth century. Local publishers selected suitable subjects for children and made various series. Often, expensive, well-known books published in London turned up as cheaper abridged versions in chapbook form in regional towns. Nursery rhymes, traditional tales, folklore, riddles, and street cries were published in this format with many woodcuts for illustrations.Among many printers and publishers which came into existence in local towns or villages in the early nineteenth century because of technical innovations, a few earned the reputation for a good selection of chapbooks for children.This collection offers twenty chapbooks, each of two leading children’s books publishers of the time, J. Kendrew in York and J. G. Rusher of Banbury, Oxfordshire, along with three titles by other publishers to show the variety of typographies and the size of books. Eight of the inclusions are in uncut sheets to show how original chapbooks are printed and sold.
