Children's Hardcover Book, Beaver of Weeping Water, Marian Rumsey, Fiction, Weekly Reader Book, Collectible, Nature

A wonderful children's hardcover book called Beaver of Weeping Water by Marian Rumsey.

Because his father is away when the industrious beaver starts building a dam that cuts off the valley's water supply, eleven-year-old Joey must decide alone how to dispose of the animal he has come to admire.

Marian Rumsey has obviously seen a pond and a beaver at work and at play. She has glimpsed an otter and a mink, heard a scratch-scratch of a turtle, recoiled from a slithering garter snake. She also knows country dusk and darkness. It is her ability to convey the realism of nature which gives strength to this tale of a contest between a compassionate boy and a determined beaver in Oregon east of the Cascades. ---New York Times

Fine: A Fine book approaches the condition of As New, but without being crisp. The book may have been opened and read, but there are no defects to the book, jacket or pages.

Very Good: Describes a book that shows some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Any defects should be noted by the seller.

Good: Describes the average used book that has all pages or leaves present. Any defects should be noted by the seller.

Fair: Worn book that has complete text pages (including those with maps or plates) but may lack endpapers, half-title, etc. Binding, jacket (if any), etc., may also be worn. All defects should be noted.

Poor: Describes a book that is sufficiently worn. Any missing maps or plates should still be noted. This copy may be soiled, scuffed, stained or spotted and may have loose joints, hinges, pages, etc.

Binding Copy: describes a book in which the pages or leaves are perfect but the binding is very bad, loose, off, or nonexistent.
