Condition: Minor cover and spine wear noted especially around the edges. No writing, torn or missing pages noted. There is some discoloration near the spine of the inside covers due to age. This edition is tightly bound. Please note the photo showing the spine is not a true representation of the color of the covers. There was bright sunlight when I was photographing this book. The front & back cover photographs give a much truer representation of the tannish/orange cover.
This vintage 1934 edition brings the authentic charm that homeschool families treasure - a true piece of children's literature history!
