Cute, two-color + B W illustrations by Marie Honre Myers. Written in script. Pages not numbered. It is sad that more information about Marjorie Barrows hasn't survived. She appears to have 1st been published around 1930, authored or edited 59 books, and is most remembered as an editor. This story is very cute in that the little duck reacts to the little girl's care of the animal. Similarly, no info found on Marie Honre Myer.

Book is in remarkably fine (as new) condition. Size: 8vo - over 7 - 9" tall, Pages not numbered. Condition: Fine (As New) Hardcover in Good Dust Jacket – Always Privately owned. Copyright 1935. Printed in U.S.A. No Edition nor printing asserted. No LCCN, ISBN nor MSR. This is a 1935 original, not a modern reprint. Notes on Condition/Edition ratings: Fine – means like new, but any book produced over 10 years ago isn't “brand new” or even “new.” Booksellers needed some word to describe this... Like New – A new book, no marks no damage (except maybe remainder marks or shelf-wear) except not obtained directly from the publisher or in packaging from the publisher. Very Good – How you or I might take care of a book, closer to “as new” than standard. Might show ownership. Good – How someone else might take care of a book. Also referred to as “standard.” This is the most likely condition for books of this age title, shows the book has been read or previously owned. Acceptable – How a child, student or a librarian might take care of a book. (Either trying to make sure someone doesn't steal it by plastering ownership everywhere, filled it with copious notes or a book that has been damaged.) Poor – Combination of “acceptable” factors above. Most likely with water damage as well. Might have missing pages (you should ask). Near – Means “almost” in an optimistic sense. e.g., “Near Fine” means very good, but on the high end. 1st Thus – Unique somehow, maybe 1st paperback, new illustrator, misprint or even the 1st edition. A collector might desire this copy. Thanks for looking!
