About This Item
(London: The Alexandra Publishing Company: no date) Suggest early 1930s. Pictorial boards of two laughing cats on a fence on front panel and show cats and puppy on rear (that is, hard covers) pp. 92 (252 x 190 mm). Illustrated by Wain throughout, including three coloured plates additional to pagination. Incomplete: only three of the called for four plates present. Prize label on front fixed endpaper. Head and foot of spine and corners of boards worn; external hinges starting to crack; light marginal marks internally; while the leaves are firmly stitched the gatherings are loosening and would respond to judicious re-gluing; leaves yellowed; otherwise a very good copy.
