Condition and Collectibility
This copy shows signs of age and wear consistent with its 78-year history. The spine is intact, though showing some fading and wear. The pages are tanned with age, and there is some foxing throughout. Despite these imperfections, this first edition is a desirable item for collectors of vintage children’s literature and those interested in the works of F. Dubrez Fawcett. The illustrations and unique story make it a charming addition to any library.
