COURSON, FRANCES BELL What the Dragon Fly Told the Children
Lothrop Publishing Company. 1896, First Edition. Decorative Cloth Hard Cover. Ill.: Brooks, Amy. Size: 7" x 9". 148 pp. Light rub to the extremities with just the beginning of fraying at the spine ends and one corner. Some instances of minor, slight hand soiling to pages. Title to the backstrip is rubbed, but still very readable. Illustrated throughout by Amy Brooks. This delightful book was designed in order to bring the joys of poetry to children. "It is not a book to be read through in one or two sittings; any child would tire of poetry in such quantities as that. It is meant to lie on the table, ready to be picked up when the children beg Mamma or Auntie to read to them. " The Dragon Fly not only talks, but quotes the works of the Great Poets such as Emerson and Wordsworth to the delight and edification of the children. And he also teaches them games. Illustrator: Brooks, Amy. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Children's Inventory No: 011099. Very Good Condition/No Dust Jacket.
Offered for US$ 200.00 by: Parnassus Books - Book number: 011099
