New York: Wilfred Funk, Inc.,, 1940. Octavo. Original red boards, titles to spine and lion design to upper board in white and blue, top edge dyed blue. With the dust jacket. Only minor loss of size to edges, endpapers partially tanned. A bright, fresh copy in the jacket that is only lightly rubbed with a few minor nicks. First edition, first printing. From the library of Senator Ted Kennedy, with his ownership signature to the front pastedown. A beautiful copy, certainly the nicest we have handled. Ted Kennedy (1932–2009) was the younger brother of John F. and Robert Kennedy, a senior member of the Democratic party, and one of the longest-serving senators in US history. A fantastic association.
