Description :
This early 20th-century volume, *Little Prudy's Captain Horace* by Sophie May, is a classic example of children's literature from America's Golden Age of publishing. The cloth-bound cover features the same charming two-color stamped illustration seen across the series—a young girl in a red dress seated with her loyal dog. The book shows light fraying at the spine and edge wear, consistent with age, but remains a collectible and display-worthy piece for book lovers and vintage décor enthusiasts alike.
