About the publisher
Houghton Mifflin Company is a publisher whose list leans toward children's books and children's literature; the four titles currently held here also touch on literary works and essays. Representative titles include Eleanor H. Porter's Just David, Lucy Fitch Perkins's The Japanese Twins, Steep Trails by John Muir as edited by William Frederic Badè, and Amy Lowell's A Dome of Many-Coloured Glass. Judging from these titles, its publishing serves both young readers and adult literary readers, covering story-based children's books as well as nature essays and poetry. Public information on the company's founding background, location and scale is limited, so no inferences are made here.
