About This Item
Boston: Houghton, Mifflin and Co, 1897. First Edition. Octvo. First printing. Frontispiece, [i-x], [1]-270pp., p. [271] printer's imprint. 24 other illustrations by Oliver Herford. A delightful story about Little Crotchet, as he was called, because he was told he would never walk again after he lost the use of his legs. He asked his father for crutches even though his father told him they would not help him. He proved him wrong. With the crutches, he found he could run fast without touching the ground. He was able to visit all his animal friends in the forest and much more. Bound in yellow cloth pictorially stamped in black and green, lettering gilt, spine lettering black, green coated endpapers, all edges green, an erasure mark to upper corner of front flyleaf, some off-setting from newsprint to following 2 pages, foxing to spine, rear cover with just a bit of finger soiling, internally clean and bright. A very good copy.
