Boston: Houghton Mifflin Co, 1943. Pictorial cloth. Very Good/Very Good -. Virginia Lee Burton. The 1943 correct 1st edition, with the matching dates to both the title and copyright pages, AND the $2.00 price to the dustjacket. This is a solid, presentable copy. Tight and VG in its pictorial blue cloth, with very light staining along the rear hinge and the front panel's lower-edge. And in a bright, price-intact, VG- dustjacket, with light creasing and several closed tears along the panel edges, and mild soiling to the panels. A warm, inspiring tale by the formidable Virginia Lee Burton (of "Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel" and "The Little House" fame). Oblong quarto, wonderfully illustrated throughout in rich color by her as well.
