Dust Jacket: A very good example of the scarce Scribner’s Illustrated Classics jacket unclipped with the $2.50 price intact. Features the matching Rackham illustrated onlay. Some chipping at the folds and spine ends, a crease along the spine, and toning/foxing around the front‑panel edges. Presents well in fresh archival protection.
Notes -A handsome copy of this popular Rackham‑illustrated classic—increasingly uncommon in collectible condition with the original dust jacket. A strong addition to any Rackham, Barrie, or Golden Age illustration collection.
