About This Item
Undated but ca 1900 hardback as pictured. Ex-library with typical markings. Binding is intact but loose and both hinges are cracked. Quarter bound with blue cloth spine and paper boards with paste on pictorial. Spine has a piece missing along front hinge. Boards are rubbed and show edge wear. Rough cut text is clean and unmarked. Although this book is in rough shape overall, the 17 illustrations by H M Brock are delightful. Each is an outlined color pictorial attached to blue gray stock. No dust jacket. Your purchase helps support our small village library. s
