From primers meant to teach spelling and math, to fairy tales, historical children’s books tell historians and modern readers a great deal about the mores of a given time. Now anyone can explore more than 6,000 historical titles online through the University of Florida’s Baldwin Library of Historical Literature. The Library is known for comparative editions of books, with special emphasis on Robinson Crusoe, Pilgrim’s Progress, Aesop’s Fables, and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
