Here is the hint. It is a series book.
Ok maybe not much of a hint but I think a clever (very clever) person can figure it out.
Answer tomorrow.
The intent of this blog is to highlight areas of the book collecting world that are of interest to me. Henry Altemus Books, the authors- Wayne Whipple, George Peck (and his "Bad Boy"), Hezekiah Butterworth, Jacob Abbott- juvenile series books of the 19th and 20th centuries and book/publisher ephemera. I hope there is something for all collectors here.
Interesting. I haven't seen that cover before. I'm sure my guess is wrong, but I'll say Garry Grayson.
ReplyDeleteGreat challenge! I believe this is one of the Rockspur Athletic Series by Gilbert Patten. I will not be surprised if this is wrong, but it was fun trying to figure it out.
ReplyDeleteOn second thought, this might be "Deering of Deal" by Latta Griswold; number 1 of the Deering Deal series published by Macmillan.
ReplyDeleteHi Bob,
ReplyDeleteYou got it. Nice job!! I guess the letter sweater gave it to you. Cary
It helped when I viewed the image at full size, noted the "G H" on the fence post, and decided it must stand for George Harper who illustrated "Deering of Deal".
