Original o primera edición
Hardcover. Condición: Good. No Jacket. Mary Reardon Ilustrador. 1st Edition. Five on a Merry-Go-Round by Marie McSwigan was published by E.P. Dutton and Company, Inc., in 1943. This 6" X 8", 183-page, 70-year-old, First Edition offering is an ex-YMCA library copy in G+ condition. There is very random spottiness/light foxing on a handful of pages within text, and some modest yellowing of pages of the book which is pretty much moot because the pages, I believe, are printed on a cream-colored stock anyway. A signed (but NOT by the author), 3" X 4" Bookplate is attached to the front loose end page, and a more or less rectangular-shaped, tan patch, of roughly the same dimensions, is observed on the lower half of the back paste down page, the remains of an earlier attempt to remove a circulation card pocket, I'm certain. The end papers, by the way, are spanned/adorned by an outside, group scene featuring the main characters, along with others, happily striding towards the merry-go-round that plays such an important part of this delightful tale. This end paper art, along with a dozen more, full page drawings throughout the story, all done in a combination/shadings of grays, beige, and black, are the charming work of Mary Reardon. From italicized note adjacent to page one of Chapter One, "This is the story of a plucky American family which, during a housing shortage, made its home in a merry-go-round. The Sloans' difficulties in a strange place and how they won through made others realize that true American resourcefulness is alive today as ever." The Sloan family consists of Mr. and Mrs. Sloan, Ben, age 12, Lassie, 9, and Boots, just 12 months young. They have driven from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Cottonwood, a small, rural community in Alabama--a distance of over 890 miles--only to find that the steel mill job Mr. Sloan was expecting to be awaiting him had vanished. Prospects for employment elsewhere appear mighty slim at that moment, and to make matters worse, every possible place to stay has been snatched up/claimed. Readers of all ages, but especially those aged 9 to 12, roughly, will be held firmly, and warmly, in this story's friendly grasp. Thank you!!.
