This offering is a vintage copy of The Gypsy Tree which was written by Ethel Collier and illustrated by Lajos Szalay. The book was published by William R.

It is a book for - perhaps - older middle school students and in many ways rues the days of playing in a meadow . . . after "development" has taken over a favored meadow playing place. The book is in very good + condition and the dust jacket is in very good condition. The book is NOT an ex-library copy - is 6 3/8"" by 8 5/8" and has 138 pages with a Table of Contents and black-and-white illustrations scattered throughout. "Mrs. Collier's concern is for values which - because we don't take time to imagine ways for including them - we lose to progress. It is a concern that any of us - child or adult - can share. - but she focuses it with unerring skill and empathy on things that will communicate to children for whom she is especially writing."Thank you!
