A bright UK first edition, first impression. With eight decorations by Michael Ayrton. Wrapper : The evocative wrapper on this copy ( artwork by Ayrton ) is bright, unfaded and complete. It is unclipped. The front and back panels are bright - both show trivial rubbing and wear to the extremities. The spine is bright and clean, showing inconsequential rubbing to the ends. Looks sharp. Book : The book is square and very tight. There are no previous ownership inscriptions. The boards are clean and unfaded. The corners are sharp. It shows an insignificant hint of trivial bruising to the spine ends. The pages are clean. The closed page edges are fresh. No foxing. No dog-eared pages. The binding is tight - no cracked hinges. A very nice copy in a protected wrapper.Publisher: James Barrie, 1955 Condition: Near Fine. Wrapper: Near Fine
