Green cloth cover and spine decorated in florals on boards. Negligible wear to both tips of spine. Every page decorated by Margaret Armstrong. Published 1896, 1899, 1903, and 1904 by Dodd,Mead. First Canadian Edition. Seldom does a book give me such a warm feeling of home as this one. It flows "iambicly" with varying numbers of feet, just to keep it moving. Authentic-feeling Southern dialect of an earlier day still paints a picture for me. Authentic photos by Miner. No writing. If only I could hear Paul Robeson sing Li'l' Gal ! 123 pp. View more info

Original grey paper boards with pastedown title and spine title, backed in light grey cloth. The author (1902-1983) is castigated by a book reviewer of Quietly My Captain Waits (1940) for not knowing what she was writing about (naval lore) , which has nothing to do with this little book of shortish rhymes. I could find no reference to this book except its title and author credit - her first. This book looks like new, calling its 1923 "publication" into question. 43 pp. View more info
