"Julia Harrington" by Richard Bissell, published by Little, Brown and Company in 1967, offers a unique blend of text and illustrations by the author himself. This edition, printed in Boston and Toronto, is a second printing, distinguishing it from the more elusive first edition. Bissell, known for his engaging storytelling, sets the narrative in Winnebago, Iowa, in 1913, capturing the essence of early 20th-century life. This hardcover edition, though not a first edition, remains a significant piece for collectors interested in Bissell's work or historical fiction set in the American Midwest. The book's condition is marred by a dust jacket that shows considerable wear, including tears and edge damage, yet the internal pages remain intact, preserving the story and illustrations.
