The book in question is a well-regarded anthology titled A Treasury of Poems: Being a Book of Verse for Boys and Girls by G. E. Wilkinson, published by E. J. Arnold & Son Ltd. While often associated with the mid-20th century, the original first edition was actually printed much earlier, in 1911. Because it was an educational staple for British schoolchildren, it frequently features in vintage book collections.

Values for vintage books vary based on condition, dust jacket presence, and overall rarity.

• General Estimates: First editions of this work typically sell on the secondary market for around £25 to £40, depending on condition.

• Condition Check: Because children’s books from this era often sustained heavy wear, a copy in “very good” or “fine” condition will fetch the highest price.
