This antique children's book, titled "Mary Ware In Texas" by Annie Fellows Johnston, is a hardcover edition published in 1912 by L C Page & Company in Boston. The book is illustrated by John Goss and is a part of the Little Colonel series. Mary Ware was originally introduced as a friend to the Little Colonel who then went on to have her own adventures.

The book has a split to the hinge at the title page, making the lower front portion of the book loose. Page 211 has a tear (nothing missing) and a few pages have minimal foxing (predominantly on pages close to the illustrations). The remaining pages are clean and free of tears. The cover has faded, especially at the spine, and has minor signs of wear. This edition is a must-have for any collection of vintage children's literature, especially for those who are a fan of the Little Colonel series.
