Frolicsome Pets The Alexandra Publishing Company c.1920s. Very small name inscription to front pastedown (belongs to box). Unmarked and unblemished throughout. A fine copy in seldom seen original near fine dust jacket.

In Frolicsome Pets (c. 1920s), published by The Alexandra Publishing Company, young readers delight in a whimsical anthology of animal antics designed to spark joy and imagination. This charming picture book bursts with hand-tinted illustrations of playful kittens tumbling in sun-dappled gardens, frisky puppies chasing butterflies through meadows, and mischievous rabbits hosting tea parties amid wildflowers. Accompanied by simple rhymes and gentle moral tales—teaching kindness to feathered friends or the perils of straying too far—each vignette celebrates the boundless energy of household companions.
Aimed at tots in the interwar era, it evokes Edwardian nostalgia with its soft watercolors and linen-bound pages, offering escapist glee amid post-war austerity. A treasured relic of vintage juvenile literature, where every whisker twitch and tail wag reminds us: true mischief lies in the heart of the home.
