Beschreibung

Proof copy of Dahl's collection of poetry about animals, comprising "The Pig", "The Crocodile", "The Lion", "The Scorpion", "The Ant-Eater", "The Porcupine", "The Cow", "The Toad and the Snail", and "The Tummy Beast". Stamped "Proof Copy Only" on the front free endpaper. The proof omits the dedication and features white endpapers. The first edition, first impression includes the dedication ("To Alfhild, Else and Asta" on the imprint page) and contains yellow endpapers. The setting of the text, however, is entirely the same. Quarto. Colour full-page illustrations, monochrome in-text illustrations, all by Rosemary Fawcett. Original illustrated boards, spine and front cover lettered in yellow, white and red, yellow endpapers. No jacket issued. Corners slightly bumped, occasional light wear to extremities, spine slightly sunned, occasional light foxing: a very good copy.
