THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS

First edition with these illustrations. Original beige cloth with silver titles to the spine, in dustwrapper and pictorial slipcase. Illustrated with 12 colour plates and black and white illustrations throughout by John Burningham. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm with one small, faint mark to the upper board and very slight bumping to the spine tips and corners of the lower board. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed and creased dustwrapper that has a small nick to the top edge of the rear flap fold. Not price-clipped (£7.95 to the front flap). Housed in the original illustrated slipcase which is a touch faded at the backstrip.

This beautiful edition of 'The Wind in the Willows' is evocatively illustrated by John Burningham, the first illustrator to win the Kate Greenaway Medal twice.
