Green cloth hardcover with p-o gray tone illustration to front cover, light wear, minor soiling, spine stamping still bright, t. e. g.; tightly bound, former owner's penciled name/address (may be erased) on the front flyleaf, otherwise no markings, light foxing throughout. 16 illustrated plates, includes front cover, the frontispiece plus 14 more, clean and not affected with foxing. 282 [1] pages, illustrated title page, text illustrations and illustrated chapter initials. Tells of a boy named Phil, who during a lonely stay at boarding school during vacation, meets in his rambles over the country a certain Professor. The latter gentleman proves both an entertaining companion and a mine of information, which he delights in passing on little by little to Phil. The Professor’s knowledge relates to the “One Upon a Time” when men lived in trees and caves and used weapons and tools of stone. (Publisher's Weekly, September 13, 1913). Scarce.
