Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Robert Quackenbush (illustrator). 1st Edition. NEW! No jacket issued, this very nice Readers Digest 1st edition is quarter-bound in 'scarlet' as is the front title with gray cloth boards; the spine has gilt titles. Includes small drawings at chapter headings and some in the story as well. The several large colored drawings have the same 'wood carver' look , and they really help illustrate this famed 1850 story. Need to take a quick break? Use the 'scarlet' ribbon! FYI: 'Scarlet' is more like maroon to red as for as the physical book goes. No leaflet or other thing, the book is surely fine as is!.
