The Three Bears.

New York: Hurst & Company Publishers, Hurst's Limp Cloth Books No. 11, (c. 1908 Anderson and Stoner); sewn down spine, olive green cloth with white titles and while and red clothes on the brown bears, the little bear squished between his big parents holds a green people doll; on the back a baby sitting in a wash basin and gleefully playing with a limp cloth book, 12 interior pages; 7.75 x 8.5" Toploader fabric.

To quote the Cotsen blurb: The Goldilocks in this retelling had sufficient strength to break the baby bear's sturdy Mission armchair. Stylishly illustrated in yellow, green, red, and brown: furniture, wall paper, bear clothes. No apologies for Goldilocks' behavior here and the bears chased her almost all the way home.

CONDITION: Very Good; bright, unwashed, no names or other markings, some ironed wrinkled corners, white pages a bit dim, spots on some pages, both foxing and soil, the worst on the porridge page. Light fraying along top and bottom edge. Item #21871

Price: $150.00
