It tells the story of Rascal, a young, exuberant, greedy raven who falls out of the nest, is found by a young lad, Peter, who tends to his needs as he plays havoc on the farm where he know lives, taunting the cat, eating the food etc. He meets a wise owl and then finds happiness with Beautiful Kaa and they end up living in an old fir tree.

Condition

A scarce title but this copy in poor to fair condition. The spine is shattered revealing the mesh, and the corners heavily rubbed. The inner binding is strained but no pages are loose. The text and illustrations are in good condition and the book remains in decent readable condition with a little gentle handling.
