Ian MacLaren was the pen name of John Watson, a minister of the Free Church of Scotland. This is one of his 'Kailyard School' books, based on the rural life of Scotland at the time, with humor, pathos, and Scots dialogue throughout. 87 pages, 5-1/2" X 8-1/4". Dark blue cloth covered cover boards, with an unusual 'cameo' style design on the front cover. Title imprinted on the spine and front cover. Title on the spine is slightly rubbed and worn. Spine panel is slightly sun faded. Cover boards are flat, the corners are not bumped or worn, no edge wear. Forward by Alexander Woolcott. There are two Wood-Cut style illustrations, which do not appear to be credited. Not a library discard. No former ownership marks, no writing on the text pages. Outer slipcase box is intact, the label on one of the sides is intact, edge wear to the open side of the box and the corners are worn with some mild exposure.
