signed Hard Cover
1894 · NY
by Mary Mapes Dodge
NY: The Century Co, 1894. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good binding. Signed. Attractive signed copy of Dodge's last book, with a anagram in her hanwdriting "written for the purchaser of this book, April 27, 1895" tipped in. The anagram also is signed. While Dodge notes that it is "too simple and anagram to require an answer here", it took our shop staff some little while to figure it out. However, we are not regular readers of St. Nicholas Magazine, which Dodge edited and which was full of anagrams. A charming item. Very Good binding.
