Methuen London, 1950 The fifty second printing, in 1950, of this worldwide best seller. The hardback is without owner marks, or annotations, or colouring in. It is a complete solid copy without loose pages or turned corners. The delightful drawings are as enchanting as ever, the poems are as evocative as they were in the first edition. The jacket is well worn, with chip pins and foldings and little bits lost. Nothing 'leve' is missing on the front panel, or the back. The spine has half of the title missing. It is nowhere near perfect in any sense but it has all the nostalgia of a much loved book. The jacket, with all its faults and its clipped price, is now safely protected.

Methuen London, 1927 SIGNED by Ernest Shepard via a pasted in autograph, 'Ernest H Shepard'. This has been attached to the title page. There is also a gift inscription on the front endpaper, which while it must be counted as a fault, it at least establishes the date, 1927. It has also ghosted through to the half title. Classifying this as NF is because of the overall feel and condition. This was the second edition in 1927, printed before the publication date of October 13th, the first print having been oversubscribed. The wonderful poetry is considerably enhanced by the fabulous 'decorations' as they are described, which are copious and utterly charming. No jacket but the red binding is still firm. Language: eng.
