Carolyn Sherwin Bailey's Miss Hickory won the Newbery Medal in 1947. When Great-granny Brown packs up her New Hampshire home and moves to Boston, Miss Hickory...whose head is a hickory nut and whose body is a twig...must brave the New England winter. A lovely fantasy, illustrated with memorable black and white lithographs by Ruth Gannett. Signed by the author on the half title page. In Fine condition in a VG+ dj, retaining the original $4.50 retail price and lacking the Newbery seal.
