First edition. Quarto. Publisher’s blue cloth, lettered gilt to the upper cover and spine, and decorated in blind, in the rare original dustwrapper.
 
Seven colour plates by Heath Robinson, with line drawings throughout the text.
 
A very good copy indeed, in a good, price-clipped dustwrapper, which has been extensively repaired with Japanese tissue to its outer edges and spine. Nevertheless, uncommon in a dustwrapper. Contemporary gift inscription to front free endpaper.
