This is a vintage 1948 hardcover edition of "The Twenty-One Balloons," the Newbery Medal-winning classic written and illustrated by William Pène du Bois. This beloved children's adventure story is famous for its imaginative plot and detailed illustrations. The book features a unique pictorial cover designed to resemble a woven wicker basket with a red cloth spine. This would be a wonderful decorative piece for a bookshelf, a great addition to a classroom library, or an affordable reading copy for a fan of the story. The book is in good vintage condition, showing some light age and use, but please note that the first blank page (the front free endpaper) before the title page has been torn out.

This item is vintage, over 75 years old. While it appears to be in good condition, there may be minor imperfections that I missed.
