A Book and Its Cover

We all know the old saying that you cannot judge a book by its cover, but in this case I’m sure the saying is dead wrong.  I bought this book purely because I fell in love with the cover.  The scan really does not show how sweet it is, with the image being embossed.  Anyway, I do intend to read it, and will give a report back if it turns out to be as wonderful as the cover.  And that is a very tall order.

PS: It was written and published in 1904.
