One of a lovely series of classic books for young readers illustrated by famous artists of the day, each with a colorful paper pastedown to the front board. These have recently been reissued, making these original editions (this one from 1931; story originally from 1882) more highly collectible, particularly when they contain color plates, like this one, which has 6 of them, along with a Title Page illustration & colorful endpapers, by New Mexican artist Peter Hurd, protege of N. C. Wyeth. The hardcover book with black cloth-over-boards & colorful front pastedown is in VG+ condition: very clean, binding is straight & strong, both hinges secure, pages moderately tanned, heaviest around edges, but completely unmarked save for evidence of erased pencil on half-title page. Occasional foxing, mostly in front matter, but a few spots on a few plates. Darkening & dust dulling/light spotting to outside page edges as well. NO DJ. Our photos depict the exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same Day Shipping on all orders received by 2 pm weekdays (Pacific time); weekends & holidays ship very next business day. Bonus: order at the same time as the companion volume by the same author/artist, "The Story of Roland,'' & take 20% off both books, + second book ships for only $1.00 extra postage!
