Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good Plus. Wilhelm Busch (illustrator). First Edition Thus. 1986. 62pp. Colour illustrations. SIGNED "J.K. Annand" on the title page."This little book has enjoyed extraordinary success since its first publication over a hundred years ago. Translated into over forty languages, this Scots version has a remarkable spirit of riotous comedy. It touches the mystery of child entertainment. The story in its time anticipated the knockabout slightly catastrophic element of modern cartoons and was a forerunner of the children's comic. For sheer mischief, joie de vivre, humour, retribution and raciness it is difficult to match. The pictures, by Wilhelm Busch, author and illustrator, compliment the text superbly and highlight the stark but funny mixture of good and bad that is so much a part of Dod and Davie's world." Light wear to covers. The book is otherwise in excellent condition. The contents are tight and clean. SIGNED COPY.
