Best in Children's Books were published by Nelson Doubleday, Inc. as part of a book club which ran from 1957 until the late 1960's. These editions contain both fiction and nonfiction stories & always included information on a different country. Their gorgeous spines and covers make them a popular set for collectors. Each cover and spine is embossed and contains illustrations taken from within the pages of the edition.
