Sobre este artículo
This is evidently a later edition of the book first published in 1916 (which would put it six years before the author began writing children's books according to Wikipedia. See below). It is in excellent condition. Some noticeable, but not severe, shelf wear along top and bottom spine edges, bumping at the cover corners and a short inscription at the top of the inside of the front cover. No tears, marks or foxing on the high quality, deckle edged pages. Includes three full page illustrations by Frances White - one in color.
Abridged From Wikipedia: Cornelia Lynde Meigs (1884–1973) was an American writer of fiction and biography for children, teacher of English and writing, historian and critic of children's literature. She won the Newbery Medal for her 1933 biography of Louisa May Alcott, entitled Invincible Louisa. She also wrote three Newbery Honor Books. Meigs began writing children's books while an English teacher. In 1922. In 1932, Meigs became a professor of English at Bryn Mawr,[8] where she remained until her retirement in 1950. During World War II she took a year of absence for three years to work for the War Department.[9] After leaving Bryn Mawr, Meigs taught writing at the New School of Social Research in New York City. She was the lead editor and one writer of A Critical History of Children's Literature, published by Macmillan in 1953, which has been called "a landmark in the field of children's literature".
