This is a Large Hardbound, Cloth Covered Book with a Wonderful Front Cover featuring Old Mother Hubbard herself and her Beloved Dog. Inside there are Ninety Eight Pages of Nursery Rhymes and Colorful Illustrations. There are many familiar Nursery Rhymes written in their original Old Fashioned form and some that I myself have never seen.
The First Page has a Sweet Handwritten message from the Mother who gave this book to her Son for Christmas in 1917. There are some scribbles in pencil and also the boys name stamped in ink on the page. The Last Page of the book has come detached but is present and is so Charming. It has the Boy's name stamped in ink and some hand drawings done in pencil by him.
11"H order x 9"W x 1/2" thick Weighs 1 lb. 6 oz.

Condition: Good. This is a Very Old and Very Rare Book. For it's age, the use that it got and the fact that it was originally owned by a little boy it is in remarkable condition, but certainly Not in perfect condition. As stated above the first page has ink stamps and scribbling, the last page also has ink stamping and scribbling and drawings and has come detached from the book. There are other pages that have ink stamping, scribbling, tares, dogears, and soiling. All pages are discolored due to age. The binding is cracked in a few places especially at the last page where there is crumbling to the binding. The front and back covers show wear to the corners, discoloration and slight soiling to the cloth. The spine is in good condition but does have slight soiling.
