Sobre este artículo
Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1939. 1st . Hardcover. Fair/No Jacket. First printing with oatmeal-colored cloth with black and rust front cover illustration of steam shovel. Matching date of 1939 on title page and copyright page. Original bookseller sticker on rear endpaper: "Hudson's Book Shop Detroit". Cloth covers show light wear and some darkening from handling, some small soil spots to front board, more soiling to rear. Contents quite clean with one or two neatly repaired closed tears (glued not taped). Rear endpapers partly split, front endpapers fully separated. Contents are almost completely loose, just holding on with one thread. An excellent candidate for repair. Very rare first state.
Sinopsis
A modern classic that no child should miss. Since it was first published in 1939, Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel has delighted generations of children. Mike and his trusty steam shovel, Mary Anne, dig deep canals for boats to travel through, cut mountain passes for trains, and hollow out cellars for city skyscrapers -- the very symbol of industrial America. But with progress come new machines, and soon the inseparable duo are out of work. Mike believes that Mary Anne can dig as much in a day as one hundred men can dig in a week, and the two have one last chance to prove it and save Mary Anne from the scrap heap. What happens next in the small town of Popperville is a testament to their friendship, and to old-fashioned hard work and ingenuity.
