GROSSET & DUNLAP 1905, First Reprint I believe

THE VOLUME: This is a very special copy of this book because it contains the lovely Edmund Frederick frontispiece, which is seldom seen. The exterior of the book is rather worn and soiled in places as the photos show. There is some fraying at lower spine and a little beginning at the upper spine too and board corners. Moderate edge wear to most edges. The interior of the book is predominantly quite nice. The first end paper had been removed, but the hinge has been repaired and the book feels quite sturdy. The rear hinge is wholly intact. Pages are predominantly clean. I saw about ten pages near the end with soiling.

THIS DUST JACKET: A Carefully Restored FACSIMILE copy of the very scarce jacket by Edmund Frederick from my personal collection. The dust jacket was made from a scan of an original in good condition, printed on one sheet of acid-free paper by an archival ink jet printer (80 yr. inks), and preserved in archival plastic. I spent many hours on this particular dust jacket, bringing it back to like new condition.

Edmund Frederick Frontispiece

THE STORY: “The Hollisters, a bright, spirited, wholesome family, are compelled to move into the country. After many efforts to secure a home, Shirley, eldest of the Hollisters, contrives a way out by renting a magnificent old stone barn at a ridiculously low price, transforming it into a house. The owner of the barn is not an ordinary landlord, as you will see, for he is a young man with fine ideals, and he is not content with establishing Shirley and her family in the quaintly beautiful old place, but makes the world a much happier place to live in for all of them.”
