THE LITTLE CAT THAT COULD NOT SLEEP

First edition with these illustrations, first printing. Publishers original illustrated paper covered boards, in matching dustwrapper. Illustrated throughout in black and white and colour by Shirley Hughes. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm with just a little bump at the top of the spine. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the near fine dustwrapper that is lightly creased and marked to the extremities. Not price-clipped (£1.25 net to the front flap).

Originally published by John Crowther in 1941 with illustrations by Susanne Suba, this beautiful Shirley Hughes illustrated edition is scarce.
