Description

Large slim folio hardcover bound in dark green pictorial paper covered boards, no dust-jacket. Not paginated. Illustrated with drawings throughout. Forty-third printing (1987) of McCloskey’s 1942 Caldecott Medal award winner for “the most distinguished American picture book for children” [ in the year of its publication]. The tale of Mrs. Mallard’s trek through the city of Boston with her eight charges has delighted children and adults for over three quarters of a century. No previous ownership marks. A well preserved copy with minimal marks to covers and a very clean interior. Very good.
