Uncorrected proof copy of the first edition. Original green and white card covers with titles in black to the spine and upper board. With black and white illustrations by Quentin Blake throughout the text. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with some rubbing and creasing to the extremities. The contents, with faint creasing to the top corner of a few later pages, are otherwise clean throughout and without stamps or inscriptions. Scarce in this form.
The sixth and final book in J. P. Martin's 'Uncle' series about a wealthy elephant, the entirety of which was illustrated by Blake.
