Found this not-so-little 1934 gem at a grocery store used book shelf! It smells funky as heck š‘¨š¸¼ But just the ticket for my kickoff of the 24in48! #readathon

Texreader @Keegz63 Omg! I have this very same book. In a black slip box. Got it decades ago in Croton on Hudson if I remember correctly. 8y

ValerieAndBooks Wow! Lucky you. I hope you'll post one of the illustrations! I have a different translation in my readathon pile. I think you can google how to remove smells from old books. 8y

Texreader @Keegz63 @ValerieAndBooks I found them on my top hardest to reach shelf with other very old editions. It's a 6 volume set in 3 books, each book in a black slipcase. I'll try to get them down to photograph. 8y
