Illustrator Robert L. Jefferson was a master of the expressive, sketch-like style, known for capturing high-energy movement with minimal line work.
Condition & Value
The dust jacket shows some light foxing (age-related spotting) and a small circular stain on the front, but remains remarkably intact. Value is driven primarily by the presence of the original dust jacket and the niche interest in vintage baseball-themed children's books.
