Chit-Chat by a Motherly Cat by R.M.Ballantyne, 1888. Hard-cover, written and illustrated by R.M. Ballantyne and published by Nelson & Sons. Cover shows some wear with bumped corners and slight losses most marked on the spine, in particular on the spine a section about 1/2cm by 3cm.Previous owner's name on front paste-down. Some obvious browning to free-front pages and the book otherwise has some very light browning. Otherwise the pages and delightful illustrations are very clean with a tight binding. This is still a very good- copy.
