An unusually crisp and bright first edition, first printing of this classic children’s story, published in 1926. With illustrations by E.H. Shepard, published in London by Methuen. With map endpapers, original publisher’s green pictorial cloth gilt, top edge gilt, and a very good dust jacket with ‘7/6 Net’ to spine and ‘117th Thousand’ at the head of the rear flap. No inscriptions or writing inside. The usual off-setting to the endpapers, spine tips a little pushed. In a first issue dust wrapper with some miniscule pushing to the spine tips and corners.
