About This Item
Grosset & Dunlap, 1915. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket/Very Good. The pages of this copy are crisp and clean except for a prior owner's name penned in the box on the front endpaper and two inky spots lower on the front endpapers; some age toning throughout. The binding is square and tight, the hard cover turned in slightly at the corners and a little rubbed at corners and spine ends, otherwise excellent. The jacket has a price sticker at the top of the front flap, one very short, closed tear at the top rear and another at the bottom rear, modest sunning at the spine, and a little chipping at corners and spine ends but is otherwise remarkably clean and lovely, now protected in a clear sleeve. Last title listed on front flap is "At Mystery Mansion." 238pp., pictorial eps, illustrated.
Synopsis
From the book:Well, here we are back home again! exclaimed Nan Bobbsey, as she sat down in a chair on the porch. "Oh, but we have had such a good time!" "The best ever!" exclaimed her brother Bert, as he set down the valise he had been carrying, and walked back to the front gate to take a small satchel from his mother. "I'm going to carry mine! I want to carry mine all the way!" cried little fat Freddie Bobbsey, thinking perhaps his bigger brother might want to take, too, his bundle. "All right, you can carry your own, Freddie," said Bert, pleasantly. "But it's pretty heavy for you."
