Hardcover first edition - First edition. The story of a little girl, a privileged city child, who goes to spend several months with her grandmother in a country cottage. Gaye, a rather prolific author, is best known for her books on nature, and much of this book is an account of the "little Cockney" learning about the wonders around her. Illustrated with a full color frontispiece and half title page. The title page only indicates S. G. as the author, but Selina Gaye appears in full on the spine. 187 pp plus 4 pp publisher's ads. Very good overall in dark green boards with illustrations on the front cover and spine, lettering in gilt (offsetting to endpapers, a bit of very light scattered foxing, some wear to the corners and edges of the boards. Uncommon. Seller Inventory # 83875
