About this Item

155 pp, small 8vo (7 1/2" H), hard cover in dust jacket. Charming b&w illustrations. "This is the story of an ageless midget clown, of his trials and tribulations and eventual triumphs, told in a series of adventures. His origin is obscure, but his fondness for circus life and his obvious skill as a performer gives a hint as to his probably beginnings.He has a wonderful capacity for friendship and proves himself a reliable and loyal companion. Though mischievouness, at times, gets the upper hand, he never wittingly does any person or animal any harm. By his own merits he achieves his ambition of appearing in print and of being summoned to appear at a command performance. And in spite of his acquired wealth and fame, the encouragment and appreciations of his friends are his greatest rewards." Partial small number stamp on free front endpaper, title page missing, minor edge wear, very light browning to edges of textblock. Dust jacket is clipped, has several small tears and tiny chips, very light browning, light rubbing, light edge wear. Good reading copy only.
