London: Grant Richards, 1898. Near fine... First edition of this little collection of moral tales by Mrs. Fenwick, an early number in the DUMPY BOOK series - a beautiful copy. Contains 12 children's stories including "The Deaf and Dumb Boy," about young Jackson who is deaf and non-verbal. Jackson's relationship with animals is presented as something of a proto-George Milton nearly 40 years before Steinbeck's OF MICE AND MEN, though without the sad ending. While Jackson is depicted with a patronizing kind of pity, the main characters of the story also acknowledge Jackson's excellent penmanship and artistic skill.

Slight rubbing to boards, with mild edgewear. Some… Read More
