Between the Covers

Softcover. First edition. Cover illustration by A.W. Rossiter. Quarto. 23pp. Stapled wrappers, Toning and foxing to the wrappers, and bumping to the corners, still very good or better. Six instrumental pieces for piano, each one inspired by a "little woman" from a different novel, with each song being introduced with the book, the author, the "little woman," and an excerpt of text from the book giving context. Includes "Little Nell" from *The Old Curiosity Shop* by Charles Dickens, "Judy Abbott" from *Daddy Long Legs* by Jean Webster, "Beth" from *Little Women* by Louisa M. Alcott, "Ellie" from *The Water Babies* by Charles Kingsley, and "Topsy" from *Uncle Tom's Cabin* by Harriet Beecher Stowe. *OCLC* locates only two holdings and it appears to be equally scarce in the trade.
