HUMBUG

First US edition. Inscribed by the author. Publisher's original pink paper covered boards and red cloth spine with gilt titles to the spine and upper board, in dustwrapper. A lovely fine copy, the binding firm and tight, the contents clean and bright throughout and free of previous owners' stamps and inscriptions. Complete the very good dustwrapper which has slight wear and some tiny tears to the corners and spine tips. Not price-clipped ($13.95 to the upper front flap).

A superb association copy inscribed by the author to the poet Mairi Macinnes and her literary critic husband John McCormick in black ink to the title page, reading "to Mairi and John, / From Nina, with love". From the beloved and prolific author of the award winning children's novels Carrie's War and The Peppermint Pig.
