Indianapolis: Bobbs-Merrill Company, 1904. Brownish cloth covers with beautiful Art Nouveau style decoration of corn stalks and corn, with gilt stamped titles. 181 pages, with delightful B&W illustrations by Will Vawter. Inscribed by Amsbary, with an holographic poem on the front free endpaper. Wallace Amsbary wrote these poems in an effort to preserve the French-Canadian patois of Bourbonnais Grove, Kankakee County Illinois. A brief introduction describes the origins and evolution of the French community, from the early French fur traders to founder of Ste. Anne, Pere Chiniquy. A friend of mine once recited some of these poems, which her grandfather had required her to memorize as a child. The grandfather had been born tongue-tied and was not allowed to go to school. He found out about an operation in Chicago to free the tongue, worked for several years to earn the money, and walked over 500 miles to reach the hospital and obtain the surgery. He loved language and speaking and taught my friend to recite in order to teach her to love speaking, too. She recited the poems not remembering the name of the author - as it happened, I had one of Amsbary's books on my shelves and was delighted to present it to her. There - you got a free story along with this description! The book is in good condition with some edgewear, spine a bit faded, a couple of spots on rear board. The page with the poem and signature has had the upper right corner removed, apparently to disguise the full name of the original recipient. (It reads, 'To my friend Chas...(torn spot)' Otherwise clean and intact. POE1824. Presentation Copy Signed. First Edition. Hard Cover. Good Plus/No Dust Jacket. Illus. by Will Vawter. Small Octavo.
