An excellent near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the extremities lightly rubbed, with a small bump to the spine tail and top corner of the upper board. Complete with the lightly rubbed and creased dustwrapper, which is a touch faded along the top edge of the front panel and is otherwise without loss or tears.

Signed by Shirley Hughes in black ink on the title page. A beautifully produced anniversary edition of this beloved picture book classic which was voted the public's favourite Kate Greenaway Medal winner of all time. Containing a new introduction by Hughes with a photograph of the real 'Dogger'.
