One of my old children's books in great condition considering it was published in 1872 and this one has no date on it when purchased but looks genuine.
"Katy Carr intends to be beautiful and beloved and as sweet as an angel one day. For now, though, her hair is forever in a tangle, her dress is always torn and she doesn't care at all for being called 'good'. But then a terrible accident happens and Katy must find the courage to remember her daydreams and the delightful plans she once schemed; for when she is grown up she wants to do something grand . . ."
For my friend Katy - @grammyn !
Thankful for - she is my friend
old books invariably don't have dates of publish. i have a book that belonged to the ex's mother, l.m. montgomerry's "anne of green gables", that looks like it could be a first printing edition. but because there is no date when it was printed, the antique book dealer was trying to cheat us when we had it examined and appraised. i was suspicious so i kept it. it had a written 'dedication' from her grandmother with a date of 1912, about 4 years after the book was published.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond No, Jackie, this book was written in the 1800's. Its a fairly famous children's book with many more "Katy's" But its got a familiar story. This character had a serious accident and so did Katy @grammyn !
