About This Item
Cloth. Very Good. Inscribed by author and illustrator Charles Follen Adams. Inscription is 1912, while the issue date of this edition is not given but probably 1910. Oblong, 12.5 by 18.5 cm. Unpaginated, 26 leaves, with 22 chromolithographic plates. Light verse, deriving much of its humor in the heavily accented English, full of malapropisms, of the eponymous character, a German immigrant. Leaves of a fairly heavy card stock. First leaf cracked along the hinge.
