A best-selling children's book.

Written by Thomas Day, a British author and abolitionist best known for this work. In the original half calf with patterned boards. Externally, smart with rubbing to the extremities and minor bumping. Light fading to the spine with the odd small mark to the boards. Internally, firmly bound.
