New York, London: GP Putnam’s Son, 1931, First Edition. 8vo, [X] 221pp, Near Fine copy in a good and uncliped dust jacket, no foxing, creases or tears, numerous drawings by Diana Thorne. Publisher’s bright blue cloth with black lettering and de-bossed image of Igloo -Admiral Richard Byrd’s dog. Dust jacket in good- condition and missing upper part of spine and small missing areas at extremities — un-clipped and has protected the book very well. A clean tight copy. Very Scarce, signed and in dust jacket.

Written the year after Igloo’s death in 1930, the book tells the story of an adopted dog who became Admiral Richard Byrd’s polar companion. Igloo became the first (and possibly the only) dog to have flown over the South Pole and the North Pole in Byrd’s alleged first ever flights over each Pole. An excellent read for all age levels.
