About This Item

New York: Dodd, Mead, 1947. Hardcover. First Edition (no additional printings listed). Inscribed by author and illustrator with personal gift message on FFEP. Blue cloth over boards. Dark blue printing to spine and decoration to front board. Good+ book / no jacket. Text block pristine. Spine straight and tight. Spine ends and corners bumped. Cover frayed at edges, faded at spine. viii+209 pages. Several B&W illustrations.

Youngest sisters who are trying hard to catch up with the rest of the family will have an especially friendly feeling for Lisbeth Holly, who wasn't quite 10 and a trifle sensitive about being the baby of the family. But no matter what their rank in age, girls of 8 to 11 will enter whole-heartedly into the Holly children's good times during a summer on the shores of Lake Michigan forty years ago.
