About this Item
A large and impressive edition of the classic story of the wooden marionette, simplified for young readers by Roselle Ross. The outline drawings in the book are by Henry Muheim, while the color frontispiece and the color illustration on the boards and dust jacket are by Eleanora Madsen (who goes uncredited). These Saalfield books are notoriously difficult to date or even determine edition, but this may well be a first printing of this edition - just going by the titles advertised on the rear flap, all of which were published in 1938. The book is a little cocked, edges are just slightly browned, and there are two small knocks to the top edge of the boards. A very good copy indeed, internally clean and excellent. The dust jacket is complete. It is a little worn and nicked to edges and has a short tear to base of front panel, and a longer tear, going half way up the panel, that have been repaired with Scotch tape both on the inside and outside. The tape has browned with age. A scarce edition of this popular story, especially with a dust jacket. Seller Inventory # 002196
