First edition. BAL16743, Section II. Laid in is a Christmas gift inscription on a separate small card by James Whitcomb Riley to Miss Hilda Searle, dated 1893. The entire binding has been professionally rebacked. Moisture staining to both covers, but more severe to the front board. Minor soiling to the interior, else very good.

A rare first issue of Riley's famous poem. Chromo litho by Armstrong and Co. Boston printed on heavy stock on one side only in recto. Delightful illustrations by Virigiina Keep in color. Precedes Bobbs Merrill issue. Very rare.
