First edition, first printing. Publisher's original red cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. Illustrated with black ink and wash drawings by Quentin Blake throughout. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm with bumping to the spine tips, the contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the mildly rubbed and creased dustwrapper, that is lightly faded to the spine and otherwise free from loss or tears. Unpriced to the front flap. An attractive example.
The basis for several successful film adaptations and the smash-hit West End musical theatre production.
