Brown Hardcovers in Near Fine condition, a solid binding with bright, unmarked pages. The DJ is clipped and in Very Good+ condition. Watercolor illustrations by Carolyn Dinan. "Charlotte Brontë wrote this little tale in 1829, when she was thirteen years old. Written in small, cramped, childish hand--often very hard to decipher--the style already shows Charlotte Brontë's remarkable talent for handling words, and her feeling for nature at its most terrifying and elemental. The enchanting story will provide readers with plenty of just what was in the child's mind when she wrote this rather frightening tale. "; Color Illustrations; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 48 pages.
