- Abstract
- en_US This book seems a cheaper version of the Altemus' Young People's Library edition; see the two copies of this edition listed nearby. This book shares the same spine format with the Yoffee copy there, but has a dark cover background. It seems to come from some time later than those editions since the advertisements at the back for Altemus' New Illustrated Young People's Library offer books for $.75 apiece. (Is this perhaps the book advertised there as part of that library? In any case, note the italicized changes in the name of the library.) The title page here is simple and done entirely in black. The facing frontispiece is Billinghurst's black-and-white The Cat and the Fox, as in the Yoffee copy of the Altemus' Young People's Library edition.
