Uncle Wiggily's Automobile

One of a series of delightful children's stories first published in the Evening News of Newark, NJ, that introduced the world to Uncle Wiggily Longears & friends, about whom Garis would eventually pen 79 tales. This marked their first appearance in book form from 1913; this is a 1939 reprint, in 18 pages with full-color frontispiece & DJ design by Elmer Rache. Small octavo (5.75" x 8.00") has bright orange cloth-covered boards stamped with a rabbit & lettering in red to front & spine. From a well-preserved, single-owner collection, condition is stunning: both book & DJ are in Fine condition! Exceptionally clean & bright, pages creamy white & unmarked, binding strong & straight, both hinges intact.Slight bumping to lower-outer corner of front cover. The unclipped DJ (with $.60 price intact to front flap) is stunning (we at first thought it was a reprint it is so nice!). Bright & colorful & clean--virtually flawless! & protected in clear mylar cover to stay that way!
