Louisiana native Ruth McEnery Stuart, contemporary of Grace King and Kate Chopin, was especially known as an author and orator of "dialect" stories. Sonny's Father, the sequel to her popular Sonny: A Christmas Guest (1896) is written entirely in a southern dialect, as narrated by the eponymous father of Sonny, a precocious (and frankly spoiled rotten) boy who was born on Christmas day. Of particular interest may be our narrator's report of a suffrage meeting he attended and supported.

First UK edition, first impression. First published in the US in 1903. The UK publishers imported sheets printed in the US, and issued the book in the same year as the US edition. Copies of the UK edition are scarce, with none traced in commerce in recent decades and just three in institutional collections (Cambridge University, National Library of Scotland, and the V&A). In 1894, Jessie Willcox Smith enrolled in art classes taught by Howard Pyle, and first met Elizabeth Shippen Green and Violet Oakley. They enjoyed a lifelong friendship and became known as "The Red Rose Girls", named after the property in which they lived and worked together in the early 1900s. In 1902, Smith and Green collaborated on a series of illustrations which were first self-published as a calendar. This caught the attention of the American publishers Frederick A. Stokes who secured the rights to republish the illustrations accompanied by text and verses by the popular author Mabel Humphrey. The result was a remarkable large-format book with plates printed by Charles W. Beck, Jr, the printer who devised the four-colour printing process. There are seven short stories ("A Tale of a Pigtail", "Jack's Valentine", "A Rainy Day", "The Little Gardeners", "Dolly's Nap", "A Pleasant Punishment", and "A Real Santa Claus"), together with two verses ("Jingles" and "The Summer Sun"). The book dates from the days of early success for Green and Smith: at the 1903 Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Smith won the prize for the best painting by a woman. A few years later Green would be the only woman under contract with Harper's magazine. A review of the book in The Academy and Literature in 1905 acclaimed "the imported genius of two most brilliant American illustrators" and found The Book of the Child a "triumphant success" noting that "a woman sees childhood with a mystic eye so different to the man's vision". The Academy and Literature, 17 December 1903, p. 621; The Academy and Literature, 26 December 1903, p. 727; Carter, The Red Rose Girls: An Uncommon Story of Art and Love, 2002. Square folio. Text printed in red and black. Frontispiece and 3 colour plates by Green, 3 colour plates by Smith, together with other illustrations within the text by both. Original cloth-backed illustrated boards, covers lettered in black together with design by Smith. Internally bright and clean. Binding worn with some abrasions, soiling and minor loss, splitting to hinges: a very good copy.…
