New York, NY, U.S.A.: Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 1973 Originally published in 1935, this book was awarded the John Newbery Medal for the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children. In her new forward the author recalls the real Caddie, who was her grandmother, and tells how she often "sat spellbound, listening, listening!" as Caddie told stories of her pioneer childhood. Children everywhere will love red-headed Caddie with her penchant for pranks. Scarcely out of one scrape before she is into another, she refuses to be a "lady." The spine ends are bent in a bit. The DJ has minor wear at the bottom, a 1" tear at the top and is bent over in a few places. Price is clipped but there is a price tag included. Well illustrated. 275 pages, no marks or tears. Gift inscription on fep. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
