DESCRIPTION:
"Nice edition" according to Greg J. Lovern. This is probably the most nicely printed edition of Thornton W. Burgess' work currently in print.Yes, all the original illustrations in the Little, Brown first editions of 1910 and 1911 are there, and they are full-size. They are not shiny like the originals, which were printed on art paper and tipped in (individually glued to the bound text pages). These are printed right on the text stock. it's pretty good text stock but does not compare to t. Like the Iliad best as a spoken tale with wonderful memory makin phrasing pbkahuna Wonderful. I am reading it to my granddaughter. The last time I read it was as a child and I loved the stories. I did not realize that the rhythm and repetition was so delightful (0ld mother west wind, merry little breezes) much like the Iliad (rosy fingered dawn). Reading them aloud is great if you are lucky enough to have a child to read to, I highly recommend it.. Four Stars Amazon Customer Great book for young children to learn about life lessons and nature.
