Description: 1920 "Remarkable Tale of a Whale" illustrated by John Held, Jr. | 1st edition One of the SCARCEST TITLES in the Series. A remarkable Children's Book, made more so by being one of the Rarest of the Volland "Sunny Book" Titles. Written by Isa L. Wright, it takes children on a flying whale to fabulous places around the globe. But it is the dramatic color illustrations by John Held Jr. that make it truly a charmer. John Held Jr., listed in "America's Greatest Illustrators", is more known for his "Roaring 20's" Art work, and this is the only Volland Title he illustrated...thus the scarcity! This antique book has some condition issues - the spine is deteriorating, a water stain on the back board and some light soiling throughout. All pages are intact and oh, the illustrations - still bright and colorful. Please review the photos and message me with any questions. Packed with care, insured and shipped via USPS Media Mail.
