Color: Black; Blue; Red; Yellow
"My Book of Many Stories" (Racine: Whitman Publishing Co.), 1928. Te unpaginated, hardbound book, without a dustjacket, has a glued-on paper cover. On the front and back covers, within a yellow box at the top, is the title and underneath this is an image of a young girl seated to eat at a dining room table. The title page also lists the contents of the sixteen stories, most of which are about two or three pages in length. Nearly all of the feature animals as key characters and all are accompanied by black-and-white drawings of scenes in the stories. An excerpt from one story is on the inside front cover, while the last story, actually a poem, is on the inside back cover. In fair condition, the book as abrasions on the spine and cover edges; brittleness in the binding at the front; creases on the cover, particularly at the corners; dents at the cover corners and the top edge of the back cover; some darkened pages; overall surface soiling on the cover; and a tear at the bottom of the spine extending onto the front cover.Lexicon
