About This Item
A very well-preserved book written by Maria Budden, a prolific author of children's books in the first half of the 19th century. Boards are rubbed and slightly soiled with bumps to spine ends. There is a pencil dedication on FFEP dated Christmas 1852. No other internal markings. Hinge is tight. Some bleed-through on illustrated pages from the text on verso page, but not enough to obscure the 12 engravings.
All proceeds benefit The Friends of the San Anselmo Library. No expedited shipping outside of the United States.
