"When Mrs. Frederick C. Little's second son arrived, everybody noticed that he was not much bigger than a mouse."

First edition of E.B. White's Stuart Little,
in exceptionally fine condition

E.B. White's Stuart Little, first edition

"Stuart's journey symbolizes the continuing journey that everybody takes - in search of what is perfect and unattainable. This is perhaps too elusive an idea to put into a book for children, but I put it in anyway."

-E.B. White

WHITE, E.B. Stuart Little. New York: Harper & Brothers, (1945). Octavo, original cloth, original dust jacket. $2400. 

First edition of White's classic tale, with illustrations by Garth Williams. Book fine, bright dust jacket with only two very small closed tears to rear panel. An outstanding copy of a notoriously poorly-produced book.
