About This Item
Holiday house, 1945. First edition. Hard cover. Very Good/Good. Kuhn, Bob. From the moment Danny sees the beautiful Irish setter, he knows Red is the dog for him. Fast and smart, strong and noble, Red is the only dog Danny wants by his side. Soon, neither boy nor dog can stand to be apart. Together Danny and Red face many dangers in the harsh Wintapi wilderness that they call home. But the greatest test of their courage and friendship will come from an enemy more cunning than any they've known before--a bear who is the undisputed king of the wilderness, a savage killer called Old Majesty". Inscribed by previous owner, which reads: "To Gary from Granddaddy? and? Dec. 25 Christmas 1946". This is not an x-library copy, as is most generally offered. A light bump to bottom corner, with a light internal crack to gutter of last page. The dustjacket has a small piece missing to upper spine, with some other chipping and edgewear. Very scarce in first edition, particularly with dustjacket.
