Question & Answer Series 189 Wee Folks Peter Rabbit Series

Q: Hi there: I have Peter Rabbit’s Holiday by Linda Stevens Almond, copyright 1927 Philadelphia by Henry Altemus Company (photo attached). I’m interested in knowing it’s approximate value, which I understand is difficult without seeing the item firsthand. There is, as you can see, a water stain on the front cover.

A: This twenty title series (Wee Folks Peter Rabbit Series) is quite a popular one. The books were published between 1917 and 1931. Your volume is #17 and was published in 1927. These titles are in demand but they are also quite common because of their initial popularity. Generally they only bring premium dollars if they have dust jackets which your book unfortunately does not have. Below is a picture of the jacket. With the jacket $50 plus is not unreasonable. Without the jacket in decent shape- $10-25.
