A lovely copy in the publisher's decorative red cloth, would be Fine cond. save for one small blemish, a small incision on the spine (as seen in photo). Very handsome copy of this remarkable volume printed on heavy coated paper, with hinges intact. St. Nicholas was a popular and much-heralded magazine written for (and by) children, and known to have been the first magazine to publish a number of famous authors, including Edna St. Vincent Millay, Stephen Vincent Benet, Eudora Welty, and F. Scott Fitzgerald (who had contributed a photograph). This volume contains the first published writing by E. B. White, a brief short story entitled "A Winter Walk," which he wrote at only 11 years old. It won the "Silver Badge," the magazine's second-highest honor. The story is a snapshot of a boy and his dog who venture out into a forest under fresh snow. It's a stunning accomplishment for an eleven-year-old, and of course this boy would grow up to write the all-time children's classic, "Charlotte's Web." This is an incredible, rare collector's item for anyone who loves or collects E. B. White. This volume also includes several incredible rare photogrpahs of early baseball players such as Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Nap Lajoie, etc., in wonderful passages about baseball strategy entitled "The Battle of Base-ball.".
