3 Antique Books by Allen Chapman - Ralph of the Round House Series (plus 2 More)

Description

Antique Books by Allen Chapman - Ralph of the Round House Series (plus 2 More), Ralph in the Switch Tower and Ralph on the Engine. These books show the wear of their 100+ years but all of the pages are there and are yellowed but not crumbling and all of the copy is readable.  They were my father's as a young lad and he has put his first name and an initial inside the cover of the Switch Tower volume.  I have left it there rather than erase it.  These stories evidently inspired a life long interest in railroads & steam trains and he followed their evolution closely till his passing. Each measures 7-5/8" by 5-1/4" and the stories are about 250-275 pages in length.  Published by Grosset & Dunlap in 1906, 1907 & 1909 they present a good bit of history as well as entertainment.
