Mrs. Peter Rabbit

Good book, missing dust jacket. Blue tweed boards with navy print on front and spine. Boards show wear, and have bumped corners and spine. Multi-animal Harrison Cady end papers. All four original illustrations are present, printed on plain paper. Pages are unmarked, but fingerprints / food stains present pages 158 - 163. Grosset and Dunlap hardcover, copyright 1919 but probably printed 1950s, 205 pages, illustrated by Harrison Cady. 12mo (5" x 7.5") Dated to 1950s due to end papers and binding style. Originally published in 1919, Mrs. Peter Rabbit is part of the rich heritage of children’s nature books left to us by Thornton Burgess in his long running — and much beloved — series of children’s nature books about the Green Meadow and the Green Forest. It is the second book in the Green Meadow Series, preceded by Happy Jack, and followed by Bowser the Hound, and Old Granny Fox. Children will love hearing, and reading, about Peter Rabbit and his adventures in the Green Meadow escaping Hooty the Owl, fighting with Old Jed Thumper, how Tommy Tit proves he’s a friend, how Old Man Coyote repays his debt, why Peter Rabbit was unhappy, and how Little Miss Fuzzytail became Mrs. Peter Rabbit.…
