About This Item
Abt. 3 x 3-5/8" tall, 39 pp. Many b/w illus.
by an unnamed artist. Heavy card pictorial wraps.
I've seen this advertised once as a cereal premium but I'm
not so sure that's correct. I think it was just part
of an inexpensive series of classics printed by Whitman
in the Depression era. Very minor rubbing and
chipping of covers; the poor paper is somewhat discoloured;
o/w a nice, tight, VG+ clean copy of a fragile item.

children's and other illustrated books, along with aviation, sea and naval and other categories. I'm still plugging along after 42 years of book-selling.
