About This Item
Holiday House, 1952. First edition. Hard cover. Like New/Very Good. Signed by Author. When one of game warden Tom Rainse's prize possessions, a pinto, goes missing, he puts his dog Smokey on the trail. Smokey, who has the nose of a bloodhound, leads them straight into a baffling mystery. Was in poachers that took the pinto or was it something bigger? With Smokey on the trail, the truth is bound to be unearthed!". Inscribed "For the swellest darn teacher-librarian anyone ever knew. Good luck and bless you always, Robbie. Jim". In this case "Robbie" is Roberta Forsyth, Jim's boyhood teacher, librarian, and friend. In addition, there is newspaper clipping glued to the front endpaper of a book review from the Chicago Sunday Tribune, dated October 26, 1952. Under the clipping are the words "my first review" in Kjelgaard's hand. A scarce, earlier Kjelgaard title, uncommon in dustjacket. This is not an x-library copy. A unique, personalized inscription; signed copies rarely offered.
