Very cute First Edition book by Johanna Spyri, 1920, the story starts with Toni's home in the little stone hut. I would say this is for about 3rd or 4th grade readers. Johanna Spyri (1827-1901) is best known for her book Heidi. Johanna was from Switzerland. The hardback cover with blue linen is in pretty great shape, a little wearing around the edges is all. The inside of the covers look great, the spine is strong, there is a little staining on a few of the pages, appears to be from dirty fingers! It has 78 pages and is 8 x 5.5".
Payments
Payment must be recieved prior to shipping. I fulfill your order within 5 business days of receiving your order M-F. If for some reason, I am unable to ship with in 5 business days, I will let you know if something happens that I can't so you can decide if it can wait, however, I strive never to do that. I do not usually work the weekend so if you order something Friday nite, it will most likely not ship until Monday.
Shipping from United States
I use standard shipping costs for different size items. In reality it may be more to ship or may be a little less. What you see is what you get & I believe my prices reflect that and are worth it. Whatever shipping cost is on the item is what you pay. With the cost of different boxes etc. it just makes sense to use a flat fee for certain items. I don't add the cost of mailing products to the item, but I depend on my shipping costs to include that. I have had instances when my international shipping has been way off, and if that is the case, I do refund that part of the shipping cost. I insure EVERYTHING. That adds to the cost of shipping of course. I have found not insuring increases the likelihood of damage and/or lost packages, but the discounts I receive on shipping through Etsy cover it.

Frequently Asked Questions
When will I receive my refund for a damaged product.
I will happily refund for anything damaged during shipping. However, I must receive pictures of the damage, the box and the wrapping. I will refund you as soon as I receive this in order to file a claim with USPS or Shipsurance.
How much is a custom mermaid?
It depends on the size and the work involved. Custom mermaids start at $50.
I saw an item like this on EBay for less. Can you match the price?
No.
Can you hold an item until I get paid?
No. I have done this before, taken the item out of inventory and then the person never bought. This causes me to have to pay to re-list the item and miss out on other potential sales. Please do not ask me to do this.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, I do!
