Here for your delectation is the SPECTACULAR RARE-------------LASSIE COME HOME by Eric Knight, Illustrated by Cyrus LeRoy Baldridge. Irresistible to lovers of animal stories. Most children are familiar with the tale of how the loyal collie travels over 1,000 miles from northern Scotland to Yorkshire to return to her young friend, Joe. Lassie, having been sold to the wealthy Duke of Rudling because Joe's father is out of work, runs away and braves starvation and treacherous conditions to follow the pull of her heart toward the family who loves her. Lassie stood in indecision and then another sense began to waken. It was the homing sense---one of the strongest of all instincts in animals. Home was a cottage where she lay on the rug before the fire, where there was warmth and where voices and hands caressed her. That was where she would go. PLUS----there are L-O-A-D-S of illustrations---many full-page!! You are bidding on the stated BCE from 1940. Other than considerable wear and tear(s) to the DJ, and a name label on the flyleaf, the book is in positively excellent condition. There are no rips, tears, markings, etc.---and the pages and binding are tight as a drum (see photo). Check my feedback to see that I sell exactly as I describe. .
