Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good-. Johanna Westerman. (illustrator). Unpaginated, 11 1/2" H. Beautifully illustrated in vivid color. "Two sisters, kind, industrious Rose and vain, lazy Blanche, experience two very different adventures when each tumbles down a well and into the magical world of Mother Holly. Rose's journey begins accidentally, but because of her generosity to all she meets along the way and her hard work for the ugly but kind Mother Holly, she returns home in a shimmering gown covered in gold. Envious of Rose's good fortune, Blanche decides to visit Mother Holly herself, but her pride, laziness, and foul temper earn her an apt and well-deserved punishment." A few tiny dints on top/bottom edges of boards. Dust jacket has light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds, two small closed tears with creases at top of rear panel - archivally taped, small tear in laminate on front panel.
