Title: Three Proverb Stories: Kitty's Class Day, Aunt Kipp, Psyche's Art
Author: Louisa May Alcott
Publisher: Loring, Publisher, Boston
Published: 0000
Binding: Hardcover
Language: English
Number of Pages: 148
Catalogs: Alcott, Literature, Short Stories
Description: Illustrated by Augustus Hoppin, with four plates including frontispiece; one plate is loose from stitching. Original maroon cloth binding with gilt text and decoration on spine and front board, and showing substantial wear and fading. Spine is faded and crushed at both ends. Boards are faded and slightly dirty with some spotting. Tips are exposed. Ownership information in pencil on glazed brown endpapers, and gift inscription on flyleaf to Laurence S. Cramer from Aunt Jo in 1901. On the rear endpapers, the glazing is damaged. This small volume includes three Alcott stories: Kitty's Class Day, Aunt Kipp, and Psyche's Art. The stories each begin with a proverb, and each story ends with a bit of a moral: Kitty's Class Day follows a seventeen year old girl shopping and dressing up beyond her means for an event, and to impress a boy, and the subsequent mishaps that occur. Aunt Kipp is the story of a miserly woman and her relations, including 11 year old nephew Toady, who tactless truth prompts Aunt Kipp to change her ways. Psyche's Art is about a student sculptor who, when she meets a master of the art, devotes herself to the care of others. Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet, best known for the novel Little Women. Hardcover, acceptable condition. 48 pages, 12mo.
