Inscription in ink on the half-title page. Pages are toned, and initial pages show quite a few smudge marks. Does not affect the text, and illustrations are almost completely untouched, still clean and the colors are bright. One page has tiny, closed rip on right edge, others undamaged, and corners surprisingly unbumped. Exterior: boards covered with illustrated paper, reddish fabric on spine. Exterior is very worn, thus making the condition "poor." All edges are worn to boards, front cover has stains, scratches, water-marks. Illustrated paper on back cover is almost completely torn off, has ink scribble. Binding is still solid. A book that has seen a lot of use, but whose essence is intact.
Reviews
On Dec 11 2015, a reader said:
This book was one of my favorites back in the late 1940s, with memorable and evocative illustrations and a simple story of a girl sur rounded by the dolls she cared for. It began with the unforgettable line, "when grandma was a little girl, her name was Stina. "
