About This Item
Toronto: Belford Brothers, 1877 Book. Illus. by Uncle Consider. Good Plus. Hardcover. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Original red pictorial cloth on boards. Grubby edges and two leaves browned by paper insert, but sound and easily readable, with no writing. One gutter strained, so I glued it. This book is full of delightful, inventive nonsense from cover to cover. 248 pp. plus ads..
