First edition. This charming book takes place on a chinchilla ranch and visiting child asks questions that tell us all about Chippy's life and the habits of chinchillas in general. Chippy is based on a real chinchilla owned by author Evelyn Reichenbach who operated a chinchilla-raising project with her husband and son. Author Is…abel Whittier married Maine inventor, Chester Greenfield who is best known for inventing ear muffs and is honored as such every year in their hometown of Farmington, Maine. Whittier had a passion for women's rights and was a leader in Maine's suffrage movement from 1902 until women gained the right to vote in 1920. She went on to serve as the vice-chairman of her chapter of the Maine League of Women Voters. She was an avid record keeper and over the years amassed a large archive of newspaper clippings, correspondence, and suffrage periodicals now housed at the Fogler Library at the University of Maine at Orono. 8vo. 48pp. Illustrated by Sandra Truman. In gray and white illustrated jacket that is good only with many tears and chips. Gray boards with gilted text on spine, toned pages, signed by both authors on title page, very good.
