About This Item
Philadelphia: J. P. Skelly & Co..., 1872. 12mo, 150 x 90 mms.,, pp. 85 [86 - 90 blank], one steel-engraved plate at page 72, publisher's original blue embossed cloth, with the initials of the firm within a lozenge on the front cover, gilt spine; lower portion of spine snagged and slightly defective but a very good copy, with inscriptions and ownership markings: "Arthur J. Fellows" in stamp and "From Mr. Chase" on recto of front free end-paper, and "Master Arthur Fellows" in pencil on the upper margin of the recto of the following leaf. Little Joe and his friend Tim, both of whom work in the mill, find a new home with a Mrs. Brett, thanks to their fragarian skills. The work was first published in London in 1867 by Seeley, Jackson, and Halliday (copy in V&A), followed by another edition or reprint in 1868 (BL). No copy of this 1872 Philadelphia imprint located, though there is a copy dated 1873 in Millersville University Library. The 1867 imprint lists other children's works mentioned on the title-page and identifies the author as Edis Serle.
