N. P. Greene, Nashua, New Hampshire
Not much is known about this firm. It was active between 1849 and
1871.
This publisher printed one juvenile series on its own
imprint: Grandmamma Easy's New Pictorial Colored Toy Books. Of note is
that it was also the co-publisher of the exact series with the same
format and titles with Brown, Bazin & Co. Other Grandmamma Easy’s
series had been published by several firms including Sprague, Durrie
& Steele, etc. but the titles and contents are different from this
series' books.
Grandmamma Easy's New Pictorial Colored Toy Books

The exact date of the series is not known but a book with an 1852
inscription has been seen. Thus it would appear that the N. P. Green
series predated the Brown, Bazin & Co. iteration of 1855.
