Detailed Solution

Penny chapbooks are pocket-size books. These are the kinds of printed street literature that are typically pamphlets that are bound on paper. They are often printed on a single sheet and folded into volumes with eight, twelve, sixteen, and twenty-four pages. When printed books became accessible in the 16th century, the tradition of chapbooks was born. These books feature drawings and are read aloud to an audience. Anthologies have been written containing a variety of literary genres, including folktales, ballads, children's rhymes, pamphlets, and works on political and religious subjects on these chapbooks. While the upper class had books with personalised monograms and bound in leather, these penny chapbooks were created for the poor and always cost exactly one penny.
