Me and Catharine Susan earns an honest penny

Kathleen Ainslie
London: Castell Brothers / New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company, [1907]†

One of a series of charming books about the adventures of two Dutch peg dolls published circa 1903-11 and illustrated throughout in colour. Other titles in the series include Me and Catharine Susan [1903] and Votes for Catharine Susan and Me [1910].

Card covers, with silk tassels. [24]pp including colour illustrations. Size: 5.75 x 4.75 inches approx. (144mm x 123mm).

Covers rubbed and worn, especially to spine; foxed/spotted, mainly to front; a touch grubby/dusty and marked; light creasing. Pages a little dusty/grubby with occasional mark; some foxing/spotting throughout especially to margins/edges.

Nonetheless, showing wear commensuate with age and handling but remains a reasonably nice copy – attractive.
