This is such a sweet little item, just perfect for a very special friend or doll. What better way to start the day than by looking up the date and then reading a beautiful scripture quote for that day.

This Lilliputian sized book measures just 1, 1/2" by 1, 1/8" by 3/8".

This book is titled Small rain Upon The Tender Herb, being the 34th Edition. It was published in the late 1850's by C Whittingham and Wilkins of Tooks Court for The Religious Tract Society. It is covered in its original deep red calf leather with fully working outer envelope flap as issued.

Condition is good. The outer leather is intact with some minor age related wear. All edges are gilt and are still bright. There is a name hand written in pencil to the inner cover for N Porch from Mrs Wilkins and a number 70 in pencil to the last page. The front and end fly leaves have detached on one side from the centrally bound text.

This is a super little gift for a dear friend or as we said in our opener, a great antique accessory for a special doll or teddy.
