Near fine in dark blue cloth-covered boards with shelfwear on the top edge and a fair dust jacket with chips on the spine and a clean separation along the front hinge. This is a review copy with the publisher's slip laid in with a letter from the publisher addressed to Mrs. Miller and signed by Elizabeth B. Hamilton from Morrow and a glossy photograph of one of Ward's lithographs. The book is stamped "Horn Book" twice on the front endpaper, no doubt indicating the publication that received the letter and review copy.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. Illustrated by Lynd Ward (illustrateur). reprint. Color and b&w plates; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 46 pages; Circa [1963] William Morrow. Royal octavo HC/DJ. Though 1947 is the only date recorded on the copyright, I believe this copy likely to have been printed in the mid 1960's during the Civil Rights struggle. In the first consideration the book just does not feel like a 1947 printing. I note that the first edition was issued in black cloth with a pictorial panel tipped on the cover board. This copy is in yellow cloth with no pictorial panel. This copy comes from the collection of a 1950's- 1980's children's librarian, who chiefly sourced her collector books as extras purchased with her private funds in the library order. There is no Worldcat record of a 1960's reissue, likely because the title does not have any reference to being a reissue. My supposition is that there was a call for the book among school libraries during the Civil Rights era and the publisher accommodated the demand but without a trade edition. This particular copy is superb, tight, bright and fresh in a crisp edged and uniformly bright pictorial dust jacket. The jacket is not priced on the front flap. Illustrated throughout with color toned and b&w drawings from the art of Lynd Ward. A few superficial imperfections to the jacket but overall about as new. F/NF.
