THE TIN SOLDIER

Springfield: McLoughlin Brothers, 1945. Near fine.. Charming midcentury edition of the fairy tale classic, printed in large type with pictorial borders. With an aesthetic reminiscent of the Dick and Jane books that were already becoming the reading program of choice for the generation born following World War II: bright, cheerful, eerily flawless. 8.5'' x 7.25''. Original pictorial boards. Illustrated in typical '40s style in full color and black and white by Sari. [40] pages. Light bumping to spine ends.
