BATCHELDER, MILDRED The Adventures of Chippybobbie and His Friend Mr. Field Mouse
New York, Thomas Nelson and Sons. 1927. Hard Cover. Ill.: Hawley Morgan. Believed first edition. With color illustrations by Hawley Morgan. This scarce children’s tale is in FAIR condition. The backstrip is MISSING, rendering the binding rather weak. The illustrated board covers have some soiling, light scuffing and a few small scribble marks on the rear cover. Moderate edgewear, with scuffing and bumping to the corners. The front cover, weakly attached, has been reinforced with tape at the inner hinges (by previous owner). Second blank endpage has a previous owner’s gift inscription and has also been reinforced into the binding with tape, along with a tear to this page being mended with tape. The inner text is intact with minor soiling. Again, due to missing backstrip, it is very weak and should be handled with care. Despite the heavy wear, this is a charming children’s book, in FAIR condition and with great full page color illustrated plates. Fair/No Jacket.
