A FIRST EDTION from 1927, this hardcover has black cloth-covered boards with a colorful front paper pastedown, lettered in gilt to front & spine. which shows just the slightest edgewear. In 221 pages + 1 page listing other books in series in rear, decorated with illustrated endpapers & orange illustrations framing each page & a brilliant color frontispiece. Condition downgraded to Good because the cloth covering the spine was split & reglued, with glue residue visible along front gutter. Front pastedown has just a tad of edgewear, outer corners of both boards are noticeably bumped, both ends of spine show fraying. Interior is very clean, Book is very clean, pages creamy white & unmarked save for old gift inscription in pen on second front endpaper dated 1929.
