First printing. A beautiful book, the fifth collaboration between this husband and wife team, and based on the author's real-life relationship with Ola Beatrice Smith who worked for Stewart's family. Although this can be read by children as a rollicking poem, full of adventure and fun, and although underlying this is a story of a child neglected by her parents, this is most of all a story of love, freely given. Small's appealing and sensitive watercolor paintings add to the charm of the story - in fact, Stewart said that for her the first few pages of wordless illustrations preceding the title page tell the whole story. Large format, unpaginated. Very near fine in near fine dust jacket.(corners slightly bumped, one short closed tear to dj.) .ISBN # 0-374-324638
