Few subjects in mid-century children's non-fiction carry the romantic charge of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police — and The Real Book About The Mounties by Irvin Block, published in 1952 as part of Garden City Books' beloved Real Book series, delivers that romance with the series' characteristic enthusiasm and clarity. The Mounties have been an iconic symbol of law, order, and frontier spirit for generations of North American children, and this vintage hardcover captures that fascination at its mid-century peak.
The Real Book series is a consistently collected mid-century children's non-fiction staple, sought after alongside the Random House All About Books titles by enthusiasts of vintage educational publishing. A charming piece of 1950s Canadiana.
