NF/None. First edition (1917 bottom of title page). Blue ribbed cloth with lettering and design stamped on front cover and spine in a darker blue color. Contains color frontispiece by Parrish ('Hiawatha'). This is an exceptionally scarce book for any Parrish collector to find, as indicated by Ludwig not having cited it and Erwin Flacks' Parrish Collector guide not knowing the author and incorrectly giving a later 1919 date.This is a very clean, tight and crisp copy that has no prior owner marks. A great copy of a very scarce book. TO SEE MORE PICTURES AND ADDITIONAL SPECIAL ITEMS, VISIT OUR BOOKSELLER's HOMEPAGE. Seller Inventory # 00654
