Henry Altemus Company published the first hard cover edition of this title in 1904 in Series #56 Boys and Girls Booklover’s Series. In 1907 it was published within Series #61 Cherrycroft Series.
This little (6.5 x 4.5) book has 157 pages and six illustrations.

Interestingly although Altemus published the first hardcover edition, the story was first published in 1900 in the Youth’s Companion. All six chapters were published between October 11, 1900 and November 15, 1900. In addition all the illustrations in the Altemus book were originally published in the Youth’s Companion.

The author, Eva Wilder (McGlasson) Brodhead (1870-1915) died at the age of 45 in Denver, Colorado. She was a native of Covington, Kentucky. Her first novel was Diana’s Livery published in 1891. She wrote a number of novels as well as more than fifty stories for periodicals. Her novels were published under her McGlasson maiden name as well as her Brodhead married name. She married Henry C. Brodhead an engineer from Pennsylvania on December 5, 1894. She lived her later years in Denver which was not far from Brodhead, Colorado which was a town named after her husband (because of his geological discoveries). In 1906 she came down with a serious (but unknown to me) illness. Whether this was the same illness that led to her demise at the early age of 45, nine years later, is unknown.
