The Campfire Girls at Sunrise Hill

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 #1 of 14 penned by one by one of the most prolific writers, Margaret Vandercook. Orig. published in 1913, this is a slightly later printing: thicker book, listing to book #11 in front matter (along with other girls' series titles by this & other author on the DJ flaps & rear). In 256 pages, with plain endpapers; 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. From a single little girl's collection, with her name & Xmas 1920 to ffep in light pen, the book is in Fair condition, downgraded due to many small holes (insect damage) to front & rear hinges along spine & to exterior edges of both boards. Interior is very clean, text block secure, front hinge cracked, rear hinge starting. Pages moderately tanned (heavier to edges) but unmarked. The unclipped DJ (replicating the same image as the front book cover, with a blue background) is also Fair, missing a section of lower spine, lesser chipping & edgewear all around, front image largely intact. Protected by former owner in clear mylar cover. Our photos depict the EXACT book you will receive from us--never "stock" images of books we don't actually have!
