This story was apparently bound with varying other stories - this volume includes 'Miss West's Class Talks About Words,' 'How Jonathan Ran Away From School' and 'Surprised.' Illustrated with a frontispiece (which refers to a story not included in the book), a decorative title page, 5 full page plates…
