    Description

    Decorative Binding, Early Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

    An early edition of this work, originally published in 1899. 

    In the original decorative cloth binding. 

    George Ade tackles class conflict, the gullible masses and more in this popular series of modern fables, each concluded with a punchy moral. 

    This marked Ade's greatest recognition, which was consequentially followed by a weekly syndicated fable and eleven more books. 

    With full page illustrations throughout the work by Clyde J. Newman. 

    Condition

    In the original decorative cloth binding. Externally, very smart, with rubbing and marks to the extremities. Internally, firmly bound with bright and clean pages. Contemporary ink inscription to the front free endpaper.

    Very Good Indeed
