Collector's Corner:


This book is part of Dean’s Moveable Book Series
Each book in the series had 8 movable plates, Pull tabs that moved 2-3 parts of each image.
The size of each was 11 ½ x 7 ½ inches; 285 x 185mm or 9 ¾” X 6 ¾”

They were advertised at the time as "Dean & Son's Series of Two Shilling Coloured MOVEABLE-FIGURE BOOKS, CHANGEABLE SCENE BOOKS, &o. By a mechanical contrivance, the principal Characters move and act in accordance with the incidents of the Story"
.
Note: According to old book references from the time you could pay an extra shilling(3s) for untearable cloth on some of the titles. It is interesting that the untearable cloth books were more expensive than the moveables.

Collect them all: The first 15 books in the series* were: (Note that quite a few came after this, we are researching all the titles and will report a full - as far as we can find - Dean movable title list to our newsletter subscribers and customers in the future)
