THE STORY OF LITTLE KETTLE-HEAD. AN AWFUL WARNING TO BAD BABAS

New York: Frederick A. Stokes, 1904.

First Edition. One of the more peculiar children’s tales we’ve encountered, about a pyromaniacal little girl who burns off her head; it is replaced by a kettle with features drawn into place and held in place with a sunbonnet. Her parents are pleased as any good parents would be. A clean copy in the publisher’s paper-covered boards back in blue cloth; the boards have edgewear and soiling, but overall an attractive copy. Scarce; we locate four copies on OCLC.

Very Good binding.
