Good vintage, previously used library condition. This hardcover shows expected wear from age and library use, including surface wear, light soiling and marks to the covers. The inside front cover/endpaper has areas of paper loss where library materials were removed, along with writing, stamps, and other former-library markings. A previous owner's name is written on the front page. The pages themselves appear to be in good, readable condition with age-related wear. Binding remains intact. Please note that this is a Harper Crest Library Edition and does not have a dust jacket. Published in 1970, The Trumpet of the Swan is the beloved children's classic by E. B. White, author of Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little, with wonderful illustrations by Edward Frascino. The story follows Louis, a trumpeter swan born without a voice, as he finds his own extraordinary way to communicate. Filled with adventure, friendship, humor, nature, and perseverance, it remains a wonderful read-aloud and children's literature favorite. This vintage edition is especially charming with its illustrated cloth cover featuring Louis, Sam, and the pond, along with black-and-white illustrations throughout the book. The visible history from its years as a school library book gives this copy plenty of authentic vintage character. A lovely addition to a vintage children's book collection, homeschool library, classroom collection, E. B. White collection, or nostalgic bookshelf. Bookshelf
