Sobre este artículo
New York: Rand McNally, 1950 1950 "E" edition of this Newbery award winner for 1949, complete with gold foil medallion on dust jacket. Although not in prime condition, this is still a very attractive and impressive book. Dust jacket is clipped and is beautifully illustrated by Wesley Dennis. Upper edge has some chipping, but damage is marginal enough that the dramatic horse's head and horse and rider on the rear panel in the midst of a desert storm still have impact. The red boards are water stained on the edge of both the front and rear board, gilt horse's head and spine lettering are still bright. Decorative endpapers, the front inside cover has prior owner's bookplate, a sand bordered scene of mounted indian buffalo hunters, which seems somewhat compatible. This book came from the estate of a serious horsewoman with a fine collection of books on horses and riding, and is in very good condition, clean and crisp, save the water damage to the boards and the wear on the upper dj edge. It would make a very nice gift for a horse lover and collector.

I search out used books on principle to highlight their value, keep them circulating and out of the landfill (and just because I am compelled to tell people to "read this"!)
