The Alfie Treasury

The Alfie Treasury brings together four picture books by Shirley Hughes: Alfie Gets in First, Alfie's Feet, Alfie Gives a Hand, and An Evening at Alfie's. The volume presents these titles in a single treasury format, gathering stories that were originally published separately as individual picture books within the Alfie series, which according to publisher information comprises twenty-nine books in total.

The books in this collection centre on Alfie, a young child who features across the broader series of the same name. Each of the four included titles takes its title from Alfie's name, suggesting the stories are episode-based narratives focused on his experiences and activities. The series format and picture-book structure indicate that the content is oriented toward early childhood readers or those being read to.

Shirley Hughes is identified as the sole author of this treasury and is credited as part of the Alfie series, listed as comprising twenty-nine books. The treasury format consolidates multiple volumes into one edition under a single ISBN (9780370332444), serving as an introductory or consolidated edition of the early Alfie titles.

The treasury edition is a print format compilation, aimed at the picture-book audience typical of the Alfie series. By combining four complete titles into one volume, it provides a self-contained reading collection. The format is consistent with treasury editions commonly produced for young children, intended to be read aloud or independently by early readers.
