This clever and simple ABC book follows the story of one pie and all the people involved with it, from "A Apple Pie" and "B Baked It" to "Z cried 'Zounds! Let's eat it up.'" Illustrated with eight two-color drawings of the comical characters who depict each letter and activity, The History of An Apple Pie was originally published circa 1867 by McLoughlin Brothers of New York, and electrotyped by Vincent Dill.
