"Little Prudy's Captain Horace" by Sophie May – Antique Juvenile Fiction Hardcover

Description :
This early 20th-century volume, *Little Prudy's Captain Horace* by Sophie May, is a classic example of children's literature from America's Golden Age of publishing. The cloth-bound cover features the same charming two-color stamped illustration seen across the series—a young girl in a red dress seated with her loyal dog. The book shows light fraying at the spine and edge wear, consistent with age, but remains a collectible and display-worthy piece for book lovers and vintage décor enthusiasts alike.

Era: Early 1900s (circa 1900–1910)

Style: American Edwardian children's literature

Technique: Stamped cloth binding with two-color ink illustration

History: Sophie May (Rebecca Sophia Clarke) wrote the *Little Prudy* series to reflect the everyday joys and challenges of girlhood. This series was among the first to present children as realistically flawed and independent, a shift in youth literature at the time.
