MacMillan. Fair with no dust jacket. 1916. Hardcover. Ex-Library; 21 oz.; 320 pages; Ex library HC no DJ aged wear light storage curve solid reading copy. OLD Goody Parsons, with her cleanest white kerchief, her most sorrowful expression of face and her biggest brown basket, had gone down through the village and across the hill to tell Master Simon what a long, hard winter it had been and how her cupboard was as bare, indeed, as Mother Hubbard's own. Now, as she made her way up the stony path again, her wrinkled old face was wreathed in smiles and her burden sagged heavily from her arm, for once more it had been proved that no one who came hungry to Master Simon's door ever went away unsatisfied. He had piled her basket high with good things from his garden, his wife had added three loaves of freshly baked bread and a jar of honey, and his little daughter Margeret had walked part of the way up the hill to help the old woman on her homeward road. .

New York: Macmillan, 1929. Later printing. Small ownership stamp. Illustrated by John Rae. Very good plus clean copy with some slight darkening to the spine without dust jacket. A romantic adventure novel set in Puritan New England.
