KING KONG

First edition with these illustrations. Signed by the author, with an original drawing. Publisher's original blue cloth with silver titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. Illustrated in colour throughout. A very near fine copy, the binding square and firm with a little bumping to the corners, the contents clean throughout and without previous owner's marks. Complete with the mildly rubbed and creased dustwrapper that remains without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£12.99 net to the lower front flap).

Inscribed by the illustrator Anthony Browne in black ink on the reverse of the blank front endpaper "61 years and long / may he reign! / Anthony Browne" next to which he has penned an illustration of King Kong. An attractive example thus.
