Description
This book is the beginning of the adventure these four orphaned brothers and sisters embark on when they decide they must run away and survive on their own after their father died. This copy of the original 1924 edition of The Box-Car Children has a lovely navy-blue cover with one of the four illustrations by Dorothy Lake Gregory reproduced in color on the cover. The other three illustrations are dispersed in black and white inside the book. Adding a nostalgic feel, the chapter titles and page numbers have underscoring with a script type of font. There is a table of contents in the front of the book. This title would make a very good addition to your home library. 151 pgs, pb. ~Judy
