Beschreibung

First Edition (first printing). 8vo. 260pp. Mustard coloured cloth lettered in gold at the spine and with a small gilt vignette. Top edge lightly dust marked and with faint indications of sticker removal from the title page. Inked-out former owner name and date inked to the front endpaper. A neat hand has unnecessarily altered the publication date from 1952 to 1953. A nice bright copy in tanned, spotted and nicked non-price-clipped dust wrapper reproducing one of the Peake plates. A book for children, dedicated to Peake's two sons (but oddly, not his daughter). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ARC90605
