Description:
Boston: Thornton and Moffitt, 1859. Very good.. First American edition of the humorous and somewhat surreal tale of a posh humanized pig, his adventures in the city, published the same year as the London first. Thomas Hood is known for his humorous poems that appeared in "Punch,"although he also wrote more sentimental pieces. PRECOCIOUS PIGGY was originally a story he told to his young son Tom and daughter Frances. After Hood's death, Tom wrote down the story and illustrated it; the original manuscript is now in the Huntington Library. Hood's daughter Frances Freeling Broderip, a children's author rising in popularity at the time of PRECOCIOUS PIGGY'S publication, tenderly prefaces the story. 7.5'' x 5.5''. Original pink pictorial wrappers. Illustrations to every page, inconsistently and somewhat crudely hand-colored. 20 pages, printed one side only. Some dampstaining to wrappers and shallow chipping at corners; spine reinforced. Light foxing to text. Remarkably intact.
