A charming and increasingly collectible True First Edition of Ride on the Wind, retold by Alice Dalgliesh from The Spirit of St. Louis by Charles A. Lindbergh, and beautifully illustrated by Georges Schreiber. Published by Charles Scribners Sons, New York, 1956.

A delightful juvenile adaptation of Lindberghs historic solo transatlantic flight, enhanced by Schreibers vivid and expressive illustrations, making this an appealing volume for both collectors of aviation history and mid-century illustrated childrens books.

The book is in very good condition. The cloth cover remains bright and clean with minimal signs of wear. Binding is tight and secure, with a strong, well-preserved spine. The interior is pristine. It is clean, crisp, and free from markings, writing, or highlighting.

The original dust jacket is present, price-clipped, and protected in a clear mylar cover. The jacket is intact, showing general age-related wear, including small tears, minor chips, and a few small areas of loss, but remains visually attractive and has preserved the book well.

A highly presentable and collectible first edition of this classic aviation tale.
