(P. F. Volland) publisher. FLOWER CHILDREN: THE LITTLE COUSINS OF THE FIELD AND GARDEN by Elizabeth Gordon; drawings by M. T. Ross. Chicago: P. F. Volland Company, (1910). Thirty-fourth edition. 8vo - 9-3/16" x 6-1/8". Color pictorial paper covered boards with a short 3/4" split to the base of the spine and a split to the paper covering the hinge at the head of the back cover for what otherwise is a bright, clean, unworn copy of the book. Original publisher's color pictorial paper covered two-part cardboard box with light overall soiling, a few slight touches of wear and one split corner on the box top for what is a lovely example of the box. Pictorial endpapers printed in light orange. Gift inscription dated "Dec. 25. 1918." on half-title page. [92] pp. The book is a collection of eighty-four flower-themed poems; each poem is illustrated by Ross with a cute, half-page full color anthropomorphic drawing of that flower. Other than the stray thumb marks, internally the book is FINE. The condition of both the book and the original publisher's box is VERY GOOD +. # 000701
