About This Item
Boston: Little Brown and Company, 1942 (Aug 1942). Pictorial green cloth in color pictorial dust jacket which is age-toned and lightly chipped at spine ends, price intact (1.75). A story told by Forester to his young son at dinner time as a way to get the child to eat because he was heart-sick for his absent mother. The story is about a little boy who finds a dragon and brings him home. Robert Lawson created great b&w pictures for the tale, appearing as full page as well has textual and chapter heads. This was Forester's first book for children and it is very difficult to find in the first edition; desirable both for the text as well as Lawson's artwork.. Stated First Edition (American).
