Set of four "Little Journeys To Happyland" book in slipcase" The Iceberg Express, The Magic Unbrella, The Cruise of the Noah's Ark, The Wind Wagon (in original dust jackets)
New York: Grosset & Dunlap, 1922-3. Hardcover. Four volumes, hardcover in light blue cloth lettered in black. Endpapers illustarted in three colors. Illustrated title pages in black and orange. Illustrated by P.H. Webb. In generic parti-colored paper covered slipcase. 1922 and 1923 copyrights. Each volume fine. In the original color illustrated dust jackets which date to circa 1931 as per the list of "Honey Bunch" books on the rear panel. "Cruise of the Noah's Ark" has creasing to the lower portion of the front panel; the other jackets are near fine with only minor faults. Slipcase has wear to the tips and edges and is somewhat aged. We have seen other G&D titles of this date, size and apearance but with later issue jackets (as in this case) also in generic slipcases, and postulate that the books so presented were either left overs from the original printings or were packaged thus for gift sales. Fine / very good. Item #E18879
