About This Item
New York: Grosset & Dunlap, (1921). Four volumes, The Tale of Pony Twinkleheels, The Tale of the Muley Cow, The Tale of Henrietta Hen and The Tale of Mistah Mule. Early Reprint editions, circa 1930. All volumes are bound in tan cloth with pictorial endleaves. The rear upper corner of The Tale of Pony Twinkleheels is bumped and The Tale of the Muley Cow has a faint spot of discoloration on the front cover. Else, all volumes are pristine. The pictorial dust wrappers exhibit varying degrees of soiling and wear, with two wrappers having large pieces missing from the flaps. The front covers of all jackets are clean and bright. The set retains the rare original cardboard box that is covered in patterned paper resembling batik. A Famous-Barr department store price sticker is on the box, 59 cents. A nice set, particularly with the box.
