Description:
New York: Leslie Fulenwider, (1929). First Edition. Hardcover. Fine in chemise and a Near Fine slipcase with minor wear. Duodecimo (4-1/4" x 6-3/4") in original blind-stamped black cloth; viii, 39 pages. Housed in a custom 1/4 green morocco leather and cloth slipcase with a gilt-decorated and lettered spine, and a cloth chemise. One of Keller's scarcest books, this copy even more so as it is INSCRIBED and SIGNED in pencil on the front endpaper by Keller to her brother Phillips Brooks Keller: "To Phillips/with affection/From/Sister Helen/February 5th 1940." Helen Keller was 11 when her brother Phillips was born in 1891. When she heard about his birth, Keller and "Teacher" (Anne Sullivan) were in Boston in school, and she sent back word to her family in Dallas that she wanted her brother named after her good, and as it turned out, lifelong friend, Bishop Phillips Brooks, the rector of Christs Church in Boston and the author of the Christmas song "O Little Town of Bethlehem."
