Kathleen Mary Gadd, who used the pen name K M Gadd, published seven children's titles, designed as readers for schools. Her first work, apparently non-fiction, was From Ur to Rome (1936). The next six titles are fiction with activities for the student included among the story text — La Bonté the Trapper (1939), X Bar Y Ranch (1939), White Hawk (1939), Wang Shu-Min: A Chinese Boy (1950), Sally Ann: A Tall Ship (1953), and Summer-Tenting: A Circus Story (1956). 

La Bonte is a creek and town in Converse County, Wyoming, named for (Gannett) Bonté, an early French trapper, h unter, frail blazer and mountain man of the Old West, 1825-1848,

who was killed by the local native american indians.

In 1867, Edwin Ginn founded the publishing company Ginn Brothers in the City of Boston. After a series of brief partnerships and name changes, the firm was finally established under the name Ginn & Company in 1885 and became particularly known for its school texts. In 1895, the company built a new publishing factory, the Athenaeum Press, in Cambridge. By 1937 they had been acquired Pearson Education, a British-owned education publisher.

I am very happy to combine postage for multiple purchases - please contact me before paying for multiple items so that I can provide a revised invoice. Ebay does not automatically calculate combined postage. I will do my best to save you some $$$! However, some items are just too big and fragile to be sent combined - please ask what options I can offer before bidding. Please request a combined invoice from me directly before paying, otherwise your items will be sent separately.  Please do not select Local Pickup to avoid paying postage costs if you wish to combine postage with another item already purchased - this will result in cancellation of your order.
