The 105-year-old book was gifted to a child by Santa Claus on Christmas, 1921 (first blank page, penciled). The cover and spine of the book are modestly worn, as expected in a beloved antique book. But the interior, and the illustrations, are clean, bright and unmarked. The lovely Art Nouveau end-papers are a bonus. The first printing, first edition copy is scarce, especially in this condition. Likely of investment value but more likely of value to those who grew up reading this wonderful book. It will be sent, carefully packed, with tracking. See less
