New York: E. P. Dutton and Company, (1927). First Edition.

Winner of the Newbery Medal for Children's Literature.

Signed by the author to the half-title.

Illustrated by Boris Artzybasheff with 3 black and white double page spreads, chapter headings and tailpieces.

Spine a little faded and spotted, foxing to prelims, otherwise a fresh copy with bright gilt on the front board.  A solid very good or better copy.

First printings of this title are uncommon, and signed copies (other than the signed limited edition that was released after the Newbery award announcement) are scarce indeed.
