The ‘Best in Children’s Books’ series was released through the Doubleday Book Clubs from 1957 to the late 1960s
Each volume has a different collection of images on the spine, drawn from from some of the main stories in the volumes, to enable children to quickly select their favourite story from the shelf without having to scan the contents of the book. Each volume contained a mix of classics, non-fiction, and also new stories.
