Erstausgabe
Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 4to., oblong (24 x 29 cm.), 26 pp. Black-and-white text and illustrations plus 5 colored, three-dimensional folding pop-ups. The colored pictorial papered boards are lightly soiled; edges gently bumped rubbed, lower hinge tender, partially split on lower edge of spine. The pop-ups are comprised of a little girl drinking milk in the cow shed; a child looking out of a window at goats; a girl with a donkey and rabbits; the penultimate scene is of a peacock with pigs and chickens and the final is a girl feeding geese. The pop-ups are in very nice condition except for a few tabs that need to be re-glued and attached. The legs of the goat in the second pop-up are severed at the fold and the large goose in the final pop-up has been decapitated. Otherwise a much better example than usually found and except for the headless goose easily repairable. It is a very good plus copy.
