Little Golden Book: Stories of Jesus
This item is a vintage Little Golden Book titled "Stories of Jesus." The book features a hardbound cover, characteristic of Little Golden Books, typically made of laminated cardboard. The dominant color of the front cover is a vibrant red, with the title "STORIES OF JESUS" printed in blue, stylized lettering. An illustration depicting Jesus with two children, one boy and one girl, occupies the lower right portion of the cover. Jesus is shown with a white head covering and a beard, looking kindly towards the children. The boy is on the left, and the girl is nestled between him and Jesus. Visible signs of age and handling are present, including some scuffing and minor wear on the cover surface, particularly around the edges and corners, consistent with a used children's book. The iconic golden spine, a hallmark of Little Golden Books, is visible on the left side, featuring repeating patterns of various characters. The top right corner of the cover displays the price '69¢' and the number '492-1', likely indicating the publication number or series identifier. The 'gb' logo for Golden Books is present in the top left corner. The overall condition suggests moderate use but remains intact. The quality of the printing and binding is typical for mass-produced children's books of this period, prioritizing durability for young readers. Given the price and typical manufacturing style, it likely dates from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1960s or 1970s.
