About this Item
First printing of this 1941 Caldecott Medal winner, about Lawson's father and mother and their own parents. "None of them were great or famous, but they were strong and good," says the author in his foreword. This is a beautifully clean copy of the book, with very crisp pages. There is an understated, vintage bookplate on one page, and that same previous owner's name written on another page (both pages otherwise blank, and before the title page, and not jarring); the book is still Near Fine. Pages very clean, crisp, and bright. No smudges, stains, or even handling marks noted. The dust jacket has some chipping and rubbing, along with sunning to spine and part of back panel, otherwise clean and bright, no tears. The original $1.50 price is intact on the flap. No award sticker to jacket. Seller Inventory # 95101801
