First edition, first printing. Publisher's original red cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. Brilliantly illustrated by Quentin Blake with black ink wash drawings throughout. A excellent better than very good copy, the binding square and firm with a little softening and rubbing at the the spine tips and an indentation to the fore-edge and top-edge of the boards. The contents, with a patch of abrasion to the rear endpaper, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed, creased and spine faded dustwrapper, that has a tiny nick to the bottom corner of the rear flap fold and is otherwise without loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£3.50 to the front flap).
