About This Item
Cleveland: The World Publishing Company, 1940. Reprint. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Very Good in a Good Dust Jacket..
Burgundy cloth with blue titles and decoration; Decorated endpages; Top-edge stained blue; Illustrated with a frontispiece on glossy paper and with numerous in-text drawings. The bindings are tight and square. Text clean, light even toning. Moderate shelf handling wear. The Dust jacket is bright but has corner wear and a closed tear on the lower front near the spine. 8v0; 8.25 inches tall; 369 pages.. One of the classics of English children's literature, and one of the earliest books written specifically for boys, this novel's steady popularity has given it an influence well beyond the upper middle-class world that it describes.
It tells a story central to an understanding of Victorian life, but its freshness helps to distinguish it from the narrow schoolboy adventures that it later inspired. [From the Publisher]
