About This Item
New York:: Grosset & Dunlap, 1925.. Reprint Edition.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: blue cloth with vignette of two running collies; top edge tint is a dark shade; owner's name stamp on the front endpaper and a tape 'ghost'; a Good book, with a Good dust jacket.. small 8vo (7.75 inches tall) . Illustrated endpapers. Description: The Grosset and Dunlap reprints of Terhune's dog stories were issued in two different formats. The earlier issue was done in cloth with the head of a collie blind stamped on the front cover. The endpapers for that series featured two dogs on the left hand page with a stream or road separating them from a single 'windswept' collie on the right hand side. This listing is for a copy from the later issue which featured dust jacket art by noted wildlife artist Bob Kuhn. The bindings for those were either solid color cloth or 'tweed' with a vignette of two collies running. The endpaper scene shows those same two collies on the left hand, and the right hand side shows a single collie leaping into a pond. One of Kuhn's paintings -- divided in half -- yielded two different dust jackets and was used (in black and white) in its entirely for the endpaper art for all in the series. ''Treve was a golden-tawny collie on a large sheep ranch who risked his life to protect the sheep from rustlers and wolves.'' Note that the only printed date is the 1925 copyright; this circa 1970s. ''The son of two beautiful champions, Wolf's clumsiness made him a nuisance but he gave his own life to save another.'' This is the ninth book in the Sunnybank series.
