A scarce copy and believed to be the first version with Wyeth illustrations. N.C. Wyeth (1882-1945) was an influential Pennsylvania artist and illustrator of over 100 children’s books throughout his lifetime. He was the father of Andrew Wyeth and grandfather of Jamie Wyeth, both extremely successful and influential artists in their own rights.
