About This Item

New York: Thomas Y. Crowell & Company, 1951. Circa 1951 8vo size blue clothbound hardcover with dust jacket; 248 toned pages with black and white illustrations by Vera Neville throughout An early, but not a first edition While copyright 1947, this edition is circa 1951 as it includes on the list of the author's other titles The Trees Knee at Christmas which was published that year. Please note: we see many other sellers "misrepresenting" this title. This title has been reprinted many times and this particular jacket design was used for more than 20 years. If the book has an ISBN number, it's not the First Edition. If there is an ISBN number on the spine of the jacket; it's not the First Edition. If, as we have explained above, there are titles listed that were published years after the first edition of this one; it is not the First Edition. Author Maud Hart Lovelace (1892-1980) is best known and beloved for her Betsy-Tacy Series of children's books. This is the seventh volume in the series. From jacket: "As cheerful as a cup of tea, and ten times as stimulating, is the is spirited account of Betsy Ray's junior year at Deep Valley High. Those were the days when the automobile was a "horseless carriage" and a lady's hat a substantial article for protecting her head! But different though dress and customs were, the heart of teen-age girls was the same as today, and their problems and aspirations identical. How to ensnare masculine hearts (specifically Joe Willard, with this blond good looks and intriguing air of self-reliance) is, of course, Betsy's primary concern..." Price clipped jacket has initials and a stray pencil mark on the inside flap and is quite worn with significant edgewear, chipping, including a small chip missing from jacket spine and a tear that runs almost the entire length of the back of jacket spine. The dust jacket is fragile. It is likely with additional handling, including packaging the book for shipping, the jacket will separate into two pieces. Except for bumped corners under jacket, book is in very good condition. . Cloth. Good/Poor. Illus. by Neville, Vera. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall.
