One Hundred Best Poems for Boys and Girls, compiled by Marjorie Barrows, Editor of "Child Life", Illustrated by Paula Rees Good, published by Whitman Publishing Company, ©1930. 123 pages, plus two-page index. Beautiful 2-color silhouette illustrations accompany poems from such greats as Emily Dickinson, Joyce Kilmer, Rudyard Kipling, Alfred Noyes, Henry W. Longfellow, James Whitcomb Riley, Carl Sandburg, Robert Louis Stevenson, and William Butler Yeats, along with others. Interior pages are rather clean, although the last 30 pages are evenly yellowed/browned. The endpages have come apart from the spine and the first endpage has been cut about 2" from top. As you can see, the paper spine has been shredded or eaten, and the paper on the front and back covers have wear. Would be nice rebound.
