This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of book making and publishing, as well as an intimate portrait of one of its most influential figures.Anxiety is not an easily-roused condition in the North American Indian. The feast began, despite the absence of our waif; and the waif's mother set to work with undiminished appetite. Meanwhile the waif himself went farther and farther astray--swayed alternately by the spirit of the stoic and the spirit of the little child. But little Poosk was made of sterling stuff, and the two spirits had a hard battle in him for the mastery that wintry afternoon. His chase of the rabbit was brought to an abrupt conclusion by a twig which caught one of his snow-shoes, tripped him up, and sent him headlong into the snow.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
