First printing (September, 1907). 60 pp. B/w frontispiece by H. S. Potter. Every page is decorated with a fisherman's rod and line, curling around the text. Bound in blue cloth, the front cover has a panel at the top that shows the fisherman of the story with boots and rod with a yellow sky beyond through the woods. Two stylized flowers with white blossoms frame the panel, one on either side of the cover. Lettering is in ivory or pale yellow, also on the spine. The lettering style as well as the overall design seems clearly to that of the Decorative Designers, although their monogram is not present. In this copy, the frontispiece and title page seem to be a bit stiff and lightly stained. Otherwise, the book is in very good condition.
