Previous 1907 Christmas gift inscription on free front end-paper. A POOR copy, with substantial wear to spine ends and board tips. Front and rear hinges are cracked severely with netting exposed. Additionally, there are small abrasions on both paste downs that would seem to indicate removal of some type of book plates. Text and illustrations clean, unmarked, pleasantly free from foxing.
