Hardcover. Zustand: Good. First Thus. London: John Lane - The Bodley Head Ltd., 1929. First thus.

The twelve full-page Tealby illustrations (plus additional ones within the text) are quite expressive of the humor of the book. Black cloth printed in gilt, pictorial endpapers, 350 pages. Some light external wear, mainly a bit of fraying to the spine ends, good hinges, very clean pages.
