Seller: Autumn Leaves, Allentown, PA, U.S.A.
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Jan Marinus Verburg (illustrator). First American Edition. A clean, tight copy. The colorful jacket is protected by a mylar Brodart cover. The edition status is a bit murky. Methuen states first edition on its titles issued in Great Britain, but this is an American reprint and lacks an edition statement. I assume it is the first, as there's no evidence of a second printing. Fast shipping, careful packing. ; 48 pages. Seller Inventory # 43314
