Other editions of book Obadiah the Bold

The charming adventures of Obadiah Starbuck have been beloved by children and adults alike since he first captured hearts in the story of his friendship with an injured seagull in Thy Friend, Obadiah, winner of the Caldecott Honor. The days of Clipper ships and Whalers in the quaint colonial village of Nantucket form the backdrop to these heartwarming tales of a Quaker family and the often rambunctious but always delightful Obadiah. In this tale, Obadiah has determined to become a fearless pirate when he grows up—to roam the seas with buried treasure in secret places! But the gift of an heirloom telescope and a gentle lesson from his father on true bravery give Obadiah an entirely new perspective on courage. Brinton Turkle's warm and engaging watercolors suit the text perfectly. 36 pg

First edition bound in decorated gray/green cloth. Oblong 9" x 7". A near fine copy in a very good dust jacket. The book has a small 1/2cm size hole on the dust jacket along the front spine seam with a corresponding indentation on the cloth spine. Small rubs to the corners and some fading to the cloth. The dust jacket has rubs/frays at its corners and spine tips. Some rubs to the front panel's edges. Overall a decent copy that presents well.
