Petite Suzanne

This first edition of "Petite Suzanne" shows signs of its library past, with a "withdrawn" stamp and library markings. The hardcover is intact, though it lacks the original dust jacket. The binding remains firm, but the cover and pages exhibit age-related wear, including some stains and discoloration, typical of a book of this vintage.

"Petite Suzanne" by Marguerite de Angeli, published by Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc. in 1937, is a first edition, exemplifying the charm of early 20th-century children's literature. This edition, printed in New York, reflects the era's dedication to storytelling for young readers. De Angeli, known for her engaging narratives and illustrations, provides a window into a bygone era. This particular copy, once part of the Rocky Ford, Colorado Public Library, bears the mark "withdrawn," indicating its journey through the hands of many young readers. The book's first edition status adds to its appeal for collectors and enthusiasts of vintage children's books. The absence of a dust jacket and the library markings are notable, yet they contribute to its historical significance.
