Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Long before environmental consciousness became popular, a young nature writer named Opal Whitely captured America's heart. Opal's childhood diary, published in 1902, became an immediate bestseller, one of the most talked-about books of its time. Wistful, funny, and wise, it was described by an admirer as "the revelation of the .life of a feminine Peter Pan of the Oregon wilderness—so innocent, so intimate, so haunting, that I should not know where in all literature to look for a counterpart."

Price-clipped. Mylar protected. Light spotting on top edge. No Signatures.…
