Most of book is in good condition, but there is severe water damage and staining to back board and underside of jacket, in which a couple of holes have been worn away from the wetness. Back end papers are also affected, but not much. The decorative red top edge has run a bit into the margins of the back third or so of pages. Still a good reading copy. MM paper, good condition except for school markings.
Wraps have protective clear covering for longer wear.
This is a classic in pioneer literature by my favorite author. We carry all of her books new, including this one. From her childhood, Abbie wanted to be a great lady of culture, devoted to the arts. But at eighteen, she pursued a different dream. She married Will Deal and left New York for the Nebraska prairie, where they became homesteaders and raised a warm and loving family.
