Rare and Collectible!! Perfect for decorating! The Swiss Family Robinson – Retold for Little Folk by Edith Robarts, Illustrated by John Hassall, R.I. Although there is no publisher's date, I believe this was published in 1910. I am basing this on the only similar book I can find on the internet! There are tons of Swiss Family Robinson books of course, but this one in particular is obviously quite old and was published by Dodge, Publishing Company in New York. I cannot find out anything about this company and as I said, the only reference to this particular book that matches all the points was published in 1910. This information came from a listing in a Canadian library. The illustrations were done by John Hassall, a well known artist in the late 1800's through the 1930's. His posters are in museums and are collectible in their own right. The reason I'm going on about this is that even though this exact book may be hard to find, the story itself is well known and easily purchased. But oh my goodness! The Graphics! There are 16 (SIXTEEN!!) full-page color illustrations that would be perfect if framed and used to decorate a young boys' room. Or, they would be equally fantastic in a study, library or hallway. There are also numerous black and white illustrations – some are full sized, others ½ page. ALL of them are SUPERB! The book itself is not in the best shape although the cover is lovely and would look perfect on a small book stand. The binding is loose and at least one of the pages has become detached. This is why it is going for such a low price. Again, I could only find one reference to this exact book (same author, same publisher) in the entire internet. In my world this makes it rare. I know it's a great read in it's own right - but oh those graphics! Thank you for looking! By The Way - the cost of shipping is only a guess-if it costs more than the guess, I will contact you before I send it and if it is less you will pay less. I am not interested in making a profit from shipping and will only charge you what it costs me.
