About This Item
Condition:
Clean covers and spine with no stains; sharp corners. Tight binding with no cracks and no loose pages. The pages are in great condition - clean with only some very light foxing to the title page and end papers, and occasionally to the illustrated plates. Presentation copy with a sheet of paper affixed to the front end paper: "Frances Parkinson Wheeler - 1900 - First Brooks Reading Prize." Overall the book is in very good condition.
Synopsis
Looking back to those days of old, ere the gate shut behind me, I can see now that to children with a proper equipment of parents these things would have worn a different aspect. But to those whose nearest were aunts and uncles, a special attitude of mind may be allowed. They treated us, indeed, with kindness enough as to the needs of the flesh, but after that with indifference (an indifference, as I recognise, the result of a certain stupidity), and therewith the commonplace conviction that your child is merely animal.
