1941 Bible Primer by Marian Madison, Softcover. Measures about 9" by 6.75". Good condition. Shows age and use, one page is threatening to tear out, pictured.

A genuine piece of WWII-era history, this is a softcover "Bible Primer" by Marian Madison from 1941. Published by the Whitman Publishing Company, this book was designed to introduce young children to stories from the Bible in a simple, accessible way. The cover and interior pages feature charming color illustrations by Dorothy Handsaker.

This book is in good vintage condition for its 80-plus years, but it clearly shows a history of being read and loved. The softcover has creases, edge wear, and fading that contribute to its authentic character. Please note that one page inside is fragile at the binding and is threatening to become loose.

This Bible Primer is a wonderful find for a collector of vintage children's books, 1940s ephemera, or classic Sunday School materials. It would make a lovely decorative item for a shelf in a child's room, a prop for photography, or a thoughtful, nostalgic gift for someone who appreciates the history of religious education.

This item is vintage, over 80 years old. While it is in good condition for its age, there may be other minor imperfections that I missed.
