Aunt Mavor's Series

Published by McLoughlin Bros.

This series was advertised on the back of a John McLoughlin published title. Presently there is no evidence that this latter firm actually published the Aunt Mavor's Series.

The earliest of these volumes were published while the Mcloughlin Bros. were at 24 Beekman (1859-1862) and at 30 Beekman Street (1863-1869). Later books did not have an address noted on the cover or on the back cover ads. This series was published at least into the late 1880's

The "Aunt Mavor" title was previously used by Routledge and Routledge, Warne and Routledge for Toy Book Series.
