A beloved children's classic with plenty of adventure, lots of laughs, and some good, old-fashioned hi-jinks.** Very good first edition copy, absent the dust jacket, with some wear to the cover esp. at spine. Text block is bright and crisp. Illustrations by American artist Lawrence Beall Smith (1909-1995).** Winner of the 1962 Charles W. Follett Award for worthy contributions to children's literature. In 1950, the four sons of Charles W.

Follett Award for 1962. An interesting bit of publishing company history that goes beyond this story of two brothers in Missouri.** First edition, Signed by the author on front fep.** "Postage for oversized and international shipping will be calculated by size and weight.
