Early printing (back cover lists only 10 titles in this series.) A 'Landmark Book' for children, illustrated with two color drawings by Robert Doremus. The Landmark series is perhaps one of the best series for children from the mid-20th century, and they are especially remarkable for the quality of the writing - in many cases, a Landmark book might be the only children's book by an author who is considered an expert in his or her field. Green and white illustrated endpapers. 188 pp. Near fine in a poor dustjacket (two very large chips on upper edge of front cover, affecting much of the title, approx one inch missing from upper edge of back cover - dj now protected by an archival cover, and despite the wear to the dj, it did protect the covers of the book itself.) .
