About This Item
United States: Wanda Caderquist, 1928. Very good. Some dust soiling, toning, one or two minor stains. Rebound. A dreamlike and rather lovely manuscript created for "Jackie, a dear little girl" by a loving adult in her life, Wanda Caderquist, with original pen and watercolor artwork by "E.M.W.". The original watercolor frontispiece depicts a little raven-haired girl (perhaps Jackie?) reading on a stone wall in front of a forest-cloaked hillside fairy tale city. Small pen drawings of children and fairies decorate the remainder of the manuscript, which includes classic poetry by Christina Rossetti, Robert Louis Stevenson, Mary Mapes Dodge, Abbie Farwell Brown, Walter de la Mare, and A.A. Milne. Broken into two parts, with an index of titles and authors. There are thirty-four (34) poems in total spanning themes of nature, fantasy, and adventure. Single vol. (9" by 7"), approx. 60 unnumbered leaves, illus., recently rebound in modern marbled paper boards backed in black buckram.
