Unlike the cover illustration of Bo-Peep as a girl in classic shepherdess costume the in-text illustration of Bo-Peep shows a young woman in circa 1920 clothing. In Very Good Condition: edges lightly rubbed; upper corner of back wrapper lightly creased. A clean and bright copy of this very scarce and nicely illustrated collection of Mother Goose rhymes.
