THE CAT'S CRADLE BOOK

First edition, first printing. Original light green cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in the Carol Barker illustrated dustwrapper. Top edge red. A very good copy, the binding firm, the cloth with some fading to the spine and board edges. The red top edge is a little faded and there is some faint spotting to the closed text-block edge and the rear free endpaper, the contents are otherwise clean throughout and without stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the lightly rubbed, nicked and creased, price-clipped dustwrapper which is toned to the spine and has a short closed tear to the top edge of the rear panel.

An unusual short story collection, imagining the fairy tales that cats would tell each other.
