The golden treasury of children's literature

I owned this book in 1966 or maybe a couple years later and it was "borrowed" and not returned. It was my personal copy and was on a shelf where I kept my own books in my school library. I remember it as having a gold colored cover and tons of poems and stories. That's all I remember about it, but it's a very desirable book.
