Item description from seller

This is a charming antique children's song book from the Playtime Melody Library. 1914; Hearst's International Library; New York. The book features wonderful color illustrations throughout by Paul Woodroffe. There are dozens of rhymes set to music (arranged by Raymond Perkins), including many favorites such as Humpty Dumpty, Ring Around A-Rosy, London Bridge, Hush-a-by Baby, Three Blind Mice, Yankee Doodle, Jack and Jill, Little Bo-Peep, Sing a Song of Sixpence, Baa! Baa! Black Sheep, etc. The rhymes are arranged in three parts: * "Mother Goose Rhymes and Tunes" - Arranged with easy accompaniments including fourteen new melodies * "Playtime Songs New and Old" - Arranged with easy accompaniments including fourteen new melodies * "The Dansant for Little Folks" - Old-time game songs with easy accompaniments, new simple piano pieces for children's home dancing parties and a musical recitation "The Fisherman" Condition: Some light soiling to the covers; tiny cloth tears at the top edge of the spine; sharp corners. Tight binding. No cracks. No loose pages. Pages 23-26 of the "Dansant" section are present but detached. Overall the pages are mostly clean and white with only some occasional light stains and ink smudges; no writing found. The rear pastedown has a 1/2" tear at the hinge, a small bookshop label and some very light foxing at the outer edge. Crack at the center of the book between page 32 and the title page of the "Playtime Songs" section (there may have been a page between these 2 pages that was removed, though I am unsure). Name written in pencil on front end paper.…
