title: The New York Review Children's Collection Anniversary Set
author: New York Review Book
description: a handsome collection of reprints, published by <i>The New York Review of Books</i>, aimed at rescuing neglected childrens classics from the dustbins of history. <i>USA Today</i><br /><br /> a mixture of classics and curiosities. <i>The Horn Book Magazine</i><br /><br />Felicitations to the people in charge of picking and producing these. They will rest on kids shelves, I feel certain, for generations to come. Eric Alterman, Altercations, MSNBC.com<br /><br /> Most people have a favorite book from their childhoods that has gone out of print. With that in mind, in 1999 the <i>New York Review of Books</i> began reissuing books that its employees and others remembered fondly. <i>Publishers Weekly<br /><br /></i>These books represent some of the finest childrens literature published during the last one hundred years. There are plenty of gems here for librarians to rediscover and pass onto a new generation of children. Philip Charles Crawford, <i>Journal of the American Association of School Librarians</i>
