About This Item
England: Oxford University Press, 1992. D/J is good. Book is in good used condition (never read) It was no ordinary crowd. The sight of it took Tad's breath away - hundreds of people, pushing and hurrying past, all going to see the elephant! It passed close to Tad, it's side like a wall of rock, grooved with a thousand wrinkles, the nearest foot thicker than Tad's whole body. The elephant was to change Tad's life. It was to involve him and his friend, Cissie, in a chase that led from Pennsylvania down the Ohio River, up the Mississippi, up the Missouri, and into Nebraska, by train, floatboat, and steamboat. They were being chased by Hannibal Jackson who wanted the elephant for his own ends and he was determined to get it. And how do you hide a large Indian elephant? This wonderful tale was a winner at the Whitbread awards 1992. (a safe and pleasing read for your child) You will receive the book seen in the image.. Illus. by Jennifer Webb (cover). 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First Edition. Cloth. Good/Good.
