Description: "Penny's Worth" by Nancy Caffrey, illustrated by Jeanne Mellin. 1952 E.P. Dutton & Company, New York. Stated First Edition, no printing detail provided on copyright page. 120 pages with color frontispiece and color centerfold illustration, and dozens of black and white line drawing illustrations throughout. Hardcover with no dust jacket. "Penny's Worth" is the story of a riding academy pony, told from the pony's perspective. The pony yearns to be privately owned, and finally gets her chance with a boy needing to build his self confidence after an illness. From what I read, the ending is happy... The author and the illustrator were childhood friends and wrote a number of pony books together. The book struck a chord with readers, as it remains in high demand. Photos are of the actual book on offer. See the photos for additional insight into content and condition of this classic kind and knowing horse story.
