May 1950 printing of the third book in the "Little House" series, with the date code E-Z on the copyright page--including the rare dust jacket with $2.00 price on the front flap The book is clean and tight in a dust jacket jacket that is in much nicer condition than normally found: with a little chipping at the corners and head and foot of spine. The white background on the jacket is lightly toned, as usual. Strangely, there is no title on the spine of the jacket, but names of author and illustrators are clear, and there is no evidence of sunning. Nicer than it sounds, and an acceptable copy for the collector.. Reprint. Hard Cover. Collectible-Very Good +/Good. Illus. by Helen Sewell And Mildred Boyle. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book.
