Welcome to a rather wonderful little section of our site, in which we are building a cool collection of alphabet picture books, most of which feature great art.

For most of us an ABC book was where we first began learning to read, and so it has been for many generations. However, times change and some of the art and verse in these books are most certainly not suitable for children of today.

Take for example "The Union ABC". where along with a picture of a lynched man is the caption "T is a traitor that was hung on a tree". Or the politically incorrect verse in the "Babes of the Empire A to Z".

Don't forget to come back as we add more to our "A is for Amazing, B is for Book, C is for Collection"!

Looks like it is time to find your old crayon case and get coloring, but with modern technology why not do it on your PC, using Photoshop or a similar art package?

Although small, this collection is still very interesting. We have two Captain Video fun packs, and hopefully one day will include the soundtracks from the 78rpm records.

In other books we have over 30 individual Captain Marvel images, a Tom Corbert coloring story and some great Peter Wheat art. For some humor try the Star ABC Book Of Safety with advice such as:

"Many animals are gentle things, For heavy work and hunting; But don't walk up too near a goat, Or you may receive a bunting."

Finally, if you have access to any old public domain coloring books we'd love to house scans of them here!

Publication History:Issues: 28 |  Sequence: #1 - #28 |  Dates: -
Hasegawa Takejiro (1853-1938) was an innovative Japanese publisher specializing in books in European languages on Japanese subjects. Hasegawa employed leading foreign residents as translators and noted Japanese artists as illustrators, and became a leading purveyor of export books and publications for foreign residents in Japan.
Many of Hasegawa's early books were in the form of chirimen-bonor crepe paper books.

In 1885, Hasegawa published the first six volumes of his Japanese Fairy Tale Series, employing American Presbyterian missionary Rev. David Thomson as translator. As the series proved profitable, Hasegawa added other translators beginning with James Curtis Hepburn for the seventh volume, including Basil Hall Chamberlain, Lafcadio Hearn, and Chamberlain's friend Kate James, wife of his Imperial Japanese Naval Academy colleague, Thomas H. James. The books were illustrated by Kobayashi Eitaku until his death in 1890, and by various other artists afterwards.

By 1903, the series reached 28 volumes in two series. Most of the stories were based on well-known Japanese folk tales, but some of the later books, including several by Lafcadio Hearn, are thought to have been invented rather than translated, or perhaps combine elements of several folk tales. The books continued to be reprinted, sometimes with variant titles, for several decades. Source:wikipedia
