"Unveiling the Enchanting World of Children's Stories: A Journey through Time" Step back in time to the 19th century, where captivating tales were etched onto plates using the military alphabet.

" These intriguing characters emerged from around 1819 and left their mark on children's literature. Even a Jewish junk dealer had his own tale to tell - one of selling nothing at all.
