Today I am adding a new dust jacket picture for this series.

These books are relatively easy to date with or without the dust jacket.

The copyright of this title is 1920. On the bottom of the copyright page it states “Printed in the United States of America”. This phrase appeared on Altemus copyright pages beginning in 1922.

Between 1926 and 1931 the endpapers were grayish. This narrows down the publication date a bit more.

Finally the ads in the back of the book narrow the publication date down further. The latest book listed is Wee Folks’ Robinson Crusoe which was published in 1929. Thus 1929 is the date. 1930 books are not listed.
