$19.99$0.00
This is The Tale of Brownie Beaver by Arthur Scott Bailey, a 1916 Grosset & Dunlap hardcover in the Sleepy-Time Tales series, illustrated by Harry L. Smith.
The pictorial cover is worn at the edges and a previous owner's name is written on the front endpaper, while the pages have no rips or tears, as the photos show.
Brownie Beaver is a hard-working beaver who works with his fellow beavers and the other animals in his village to build and protect their homes from weather, outsider animals, and men. Bailey uses humorous tales of very people-like animals to introduce children to woodland creatures and their habits.

Questions buyers ask

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.
-
I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.
