My mother bought a subscription to Parents magazine in the early 60's and this book was a bonus for the year subscription. My own copy is so worn and tattered that I have stored it in a box as a keepsake. With my first grandchild on the way, I wanted my daughter to have a good "old-fashioned" fairy tale and nursery rhyme book to read to her daughter like my mother read to me. This book has been copyrighted many times over the past 50 years but the cover and content is still the same. It's a classic!
My mother bought Young Years for us as children, I bought it for my children, and now, I was grateful to find it so that I could buy it for my Grandson. Reading is fundamental and as I heard a comedian state, "fun to mental". I'm 62 now and receiving this book as a child is one of my fondest memories. Rainy days and restriction went by virtually unnoticed thanks to Young Years and the many, many, well-written stories. The best thing, the stories are all in one book and so one can curl up with Young Years, a blanket, and a snack and be entertained for hours on end! I've made Young Years a tradition for every child born to our family. Three generations and counting. I was one of 5 and so could not rightfully claim the book when I moved away from home. The fond memories are enough that I'm considering purchasing one for myself. I think I shall!Read full review

I remember my mother reading these stories to me, when I was a child. One day I decided to look for this book, and found it online in excellent condition. Very good, for keeping youngsters entertained. The children will ask you every night to read a story from this book.

I had this book as a child and was very happy to find one in such good condition. Every other version I've seen offered has been marked up in some way, as old children's books generally are. As far as I can tell this one is completely clean and just has the usual wear one expects from age. It's a wondeful collection of poems, nursery rhymes, and fairy tales, though I would caution that the illustrations are limited in color (probably for economical reasons).

I owned this book as a small child and was devastated when it was lost in a move. I love this book and now I can read it to my grandchildren. It is in perfect condition and a great price!
