Up One Pair of Stairs * Olive Beaupré Miller (Editor) * My Book House #2

Poems, stories, and fairy tales for children by many authors. A beautifully graded vintage anthology designed to transition young minds from nursery rhymes into their very first collection of world folk tales, simple fairy tales, and classic verse.

The Story: As the milestone second volume of the legendary My Book House series, this collection gently expands a child's vocabulary and imagination. Curated by pioneering editor Olive Beaupré Miller, it gathers timeless adaptations of global children's stories and rhythmic poetry specifically paced for early readers. The text is brought to life by legendary Golden Age artists - including N.C. Wyeth, Milo Winter, and Maginel Wright Enright - whose magnificent illustrations make this volume a visual treasure trove of early 20th-century children's literature.

Perfect For: Collectors of antique children's books, parents seeking high-quality vintage read-aloud stories, and fans of beautifully illustrated classic folklore.
