Notes: This is a "FIRST EDITION" and has that stated on the copyright page. It was a large expensive book printed on good quality paper. This First Edition was priced at $3.50 which was expensive for a Children's book of that time. It is illustrated throughout the book in silhouettes by the author/artist. The book was named a Newbery Honor title (at the time called a runner-up) on May 15, 1929 losing out to Eric P. Kelly's "The Trumpeter of Krakow" for the Newbery Medal. A cheaper downsized edition was later released in 1938 at a $2.00 price.
