Uncommon copy with its original dust jacket. 1924 1st edition thus; Charles Scribner's Sons; New York. This edition features wonderful illustrations in color by N.C.

Condition:
Clean covers and spine. Sharp cover corners. Bright gilt lettering on the spine. Tight binding with no cracks and no loose pages. Both covers are firmly attached. There is a small stain at the long edge of the text block. Clean interior with only a Christmas inscription written in pen dated 1924 on the front end paper. Pages 352 and 353 had been attached along the outer edge - in the process of separating them, a large tear/piece missing resulted at the outer edge of page 353 (the text is unaffected).
