Description: Book appears well read with lower 1 1/2" of spine cracked and peeling at hinge, but still attached, the frontispiece is loose but present and a previous owner's name is on first page, dated 1909. Front cover is a touch sun faded but the pastedown is attached and complete. OW book has general wear at edges, tips and extremities, yet remains solid and complete with no other writing or marks within. A fairly square looking copy of this desirable title from the Christmas Stocking series. Book is 56 pages printed on one side only, so when it was bound the book appears twice as thick as if there were 112 pages. Introduction by L. Frank Baum, author of Wizard Of Oz. 3 pages of ads at rear for other titles from this publisher. A very fragile edition, indeed.
