157I: Collected Stories and Poems

My aunt bought me this book in the late 1970s (I’m thinking 1978 for some reason). It was a white hardcover with green leaves I believe, and a picture of King Arthur on the front. Maybe 3/4 of an inch thick. She got it at a little 5 and dime (G.C. Murphy’s) located in Southern Ohio.

I’m guessing there were probably 20-30 stories in the volume and each had full color illustrations. In the back of the book was a selection of poetry. Also some illustration in with the poetry but these were in black and white.

Some of the stories included were: Sinbad, Puss in Boots, The Emperor’s New Clothes, King Arthur, The Tinder Box, and Jack the Giant Killer.
The only poem I remember distictly was The Jabberwocky.
I want to say the title was something like “A Children’s Treasury of…” or something similar.
