Item description from seller

First printing. The rather uncommon fourth book for older children by this noted Alaskan artist and wife, Sara. Although Fred was born in Ohio and Sara in Tennessee, they both fell in love with Alaska - and with each other when they met in Skagway in 1946. Although they were busy shooting films for Disney and others, writing and lecturing, one of their main goals was finding the most beautiful scene in Alaska and to "build a studio home around the window. In the summer of 1950, they found their 'view' in the heart of 3,000 acres of forest in scenic Matanuska Valley. Their home 'High Ridge' they built themselves, with logs from their own land, and this experience, furnished the background" for this book. (MLJLibrary) Illustrated with drawings by Fred Machetanz. 177 pp. Good overall in blue cloth with black lettering on spine, black bear on front cover (some soiling to covers, gift inscription and some foxing to margins of several pages, but still a sturdy and attractive copy).

Store description

Bookfever.com - the name used by Volk and Iiams, Booksellers- specializes in first editions of twentieth century literature, with an emphasis on women authors, African American, Native American and Latin American authors - plus mystery & detective fiction, science fiction & fantasy, poetry and children's & illustrated books. We try to offer many uncommon books, and have a large selection of first books, and books by authors who are less frequently collected. Of the approximately 60,000 volumes in stock, the majority are hardcover first editions, although we also stock vintage science fiction paperbacks as well as sf digests and pulps. We also have a large selection of books signed by the author and uncorrected proof copies. Only about 50% of our stock is catalogued, so please inquire if you are searching for specific titles. We have been selling books by mail order and on the internet since 1993. We have a large booth dedicated to books (called Books Upstairs) at the Antiques Upstairs Mall, 5 Main Street, Jackson, CA. (open every day from 10-5) The emphasis there is on Western Americana, children¿s books and inexpensive reading copies. In 1998 we relocated our main business from Sacramento to the Sierra foothills of Amador County, about 35 miles east of downtown Sacramento and between Ione & Sutter Creek. There, on 10 acres of rolling oak-covered hills, we built a "bookhouse" for our books. Call us at 209-274-6960 or contact us by email heyyou@bookfever.com) Our web page is https://bookfever.com/ Traditional bookseller grading used - fine is our highest grade (an "A"), very good is above average (a "B), good is average (a "C"). All significant flaws are described; dust jackets are protected by archival covers, and books are packed carefully for shipping. We welcome questions by email or phone.
