New York: Thomas Y. Crowell & Co, 1913. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. 12mo. viii, 218pp., illustrated with halftone plates (including one designed by L.J. Bridgman), and wood engravings by John Tenniel. Publisher's gray pictorial cloth stamped in red and black on front cover and spine. Two early owner names in ink on front free endpaper. Head of spine is frayed with some tiny holes on upper front joint, light edge-wear, else very good or better in about good pictorial dust jacket with a few scattered chips at the edges of the jacket and the front flap fold partially split. The jacket repeats the pictorial design on the front panel and spine, and prints publisher's catalogs on the back panel and both flaps. A list of "Scout Books" on the front flap indicate that the jacket was issued circa 1913, thus our attribution of the date. An attractive early American edition in decorative cloth, scarce in the original dust jacket. (Inventory #: 544498)
