A dog story for the ages! Vintage 1944 edition of "Lassie Come-Home" written by Eric Knight illustrated by Marguerite Kirmse. This copy is listed as the Sixteenth Printing February 1944! Beautiful hardback bright yellow book with original dust jacket.

"It is a yarn of Lassie, the prize dog of a humble household, who is sold to a wealthy family when hard times befall her original owners. Yet dogs cannot reckon monetary wealth - they honor their masters for other things than this. So Lassie, taken hundreds of miles away, does what many collies have done before her. She starts for home so that, as in the years before, she can be faithful to a duty - that of meeting a boy by a schoolhouse gate."

Please note - the inside cover lists " To David from Mother and Dad for a fine year of music 1943-1944 - Recital May 16, '44"
