"Patty's Summer Days" by Carolyn Wells, published by Dodd, Mead & Company in New York, 1922, is a charming addition to early 20th-century children's literature. This hardcover edition reflects the period's publishing style, characterized by its simple yet appealing cloth binding. Carolyn Wells, known for her prolific output of children's books and mysteries, offers another delightful narrative in the "Patty" series, which was popular among young readers of the time. This specific edition, printed in the U.S.A., lacks a dust jacket and shows signs of wear, indicative of its age and the hands it has passed through. While not a first edition, this copy remains a valuable piece for collectors interested in vintage children's books. The book's condition and lack of modern reprints suggest that it might be a rare find for enthusiasts of Wells' work and early 20th-century fiction.
