Young Sailors of Sidon: A Story of Long Ago Phoenicia ~ by Elizabeth Kent Tarshis. L.C. Page & Company, Boston, 1938. Hardcover, first edition (stated), decorated boards, 162 pages, illustrated by Richard A. Holberg. No jacket if there ever was one. This is a fairly scarce children's book. It was once in a church library and has the usual library markings including a charge slip and card pocket (detached). I believe most of the markings could be removed. GOOD/VERY GOOD

From the Wisconsin Library Bulletin: In lively story form, there is a recreation of Phoenician life of nearly 3000 years ago, with the ships of Tyre and Sidon bringing to all the ports of the Mediterranean the goods of Phoenician craftsmen and taking on raw materials and other things in return. There are events and adventures on the voyage as well as interesting sights which give interest and color to a well told story. The author is the daughter of Louise Andrews Kent.
