Near Fine Condition/Very Good. b/w. illustrated end-papers; illustrated throughout by charming b/w. drawings; In the story of Victoria, Miss Chase turns to the area she loves best in the world - rural Maine - and to her childhood as one of a family of eight children with an unending succession of animals. Victoria the pig was one of these. Saved from life in the sty by a happy accident, Victoria became one of the Chases' adored and pampered pets. As Miss Chase's special responsibility, Victoria soon grew to be a most unusual animal. Bathed and scented, she resembled not in the least her brothers and sisters, and the sight of the author wheeling Victoria around in an English "pram" soon became a familiar one in the village. ‘Victoria’ is the story of a little girl and her pet pig.
