One of a series of delightful children's stories first published in the Evening News of Newark, NJ, that introduced the world to Uncle Wiggily Longears & friends, about whom Garis would eventually pen 79 tales. TThis marked their first appearance in book form from 1912; this is a 1940 reprint, in 184 pages with full-color frontispiece & DJ design by Elmer Rache. Small octavo (5.75" x 8.00") has bright orange cloth-covered boards stamped with a rabbit & lettering in black to front & spine. From a well-preserved, single-owner collection, condition is stunning: the book is Fine in a Near Fine DJ! Exceptionally clean & bright, pages creamy white & unmarked, binding strong & straight, both hinges intact.The shallowly clipped DJ is stunning (we at first thought it was a reprint it is so nice!). Flawless save for light soil a tiny chip to top edge of back cover. Else, bright & colorful & clean & protected in clear mylar cover to stay that way! Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same Day Shipping on all orders received by 2 pm Weekdays (Pacific time); later orders, weekends & holidays ship very next business day.…
