Very good condition in a very good dustwrapper.
When Lucinda was ten, her parents left New York for a year, and their only daughter - taking her trunk, her toy theatre, her guitar and her roller skates - went to stay with Miss Peters. For one glorious year Lucinda was free to go roller-skating throughout the streets of New York, discovering for herself all that lay outside her strictly regulated home. A book which won the Newbury Medal and which has delighted children in America since 1936, this is the first UK edition. Blue boards. B/w text illustrations. 186 pages. Minimal bumping to spine and corners. Some light foxing to endpapers and textblock and some erased pencil markings to front free-endpaper. Dustwrapper is slightly rubbed at edges, very slightly faded to spine and has a couple of marks to rear panel.
