The Campfire Girls across the Sea

Early 20th-century YA series featuring the adventuresome Campfire Girls, modeled after the real organization of the same name, which had started in 1910 as the first nonsectarian, multicultural organization for girls in America. The series was written by various women authors through the 1930s. This book is #4 of 14 penned by one by one of the most prolific writers, Margaret Vandercook. Orig. published in 1914, this is a slightly later printing: thinner book, listing to book #6 in front matter (along with other girls' series titles by this & other author on the DJ flaps & rear). In 254 pages, with decorative endpapers (original ones were plain), frontispiece + 3 internal illustrations by an uncredited artist. Hardcover 8vo has yellow-brown cloth-covered boards with a red & black stamped image of girls rowing a canoe to front, black lettering to front & spine. Condition is Fair, downgraded due to dampstaining to outer fore edge sides of about half of the pages. Else, generally clean, binding strong & straight, hinges secure. Minor rubbing to extremities. Pages moderately tanned (heavier to edges) but unmarked save for old gift inscription dated 1918 to second free front endpaper. The unclipped DJ (replicating the same image as the front book cover, with a tan-cream background) is Good: largely intact, but with chipping, creasing, light soil, paper loss at all corners & both ends of spine. Protected by former owner in nonreflective mylar cover. Our photos depict the EXACT book you will receive from us--never "stock" images of books we don't actually have!
