Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. Suzanne Boland (illustrator). 1st Edition. "One day a little bird left Africa to go back to his own country, where the winter was almost over. It was such a long way!" So starts the adventure of the tiny seed of a tree that he had brought all the way home with him. This delightfully illustrated book tells the adventure of that seed! The book is in excellent condition, having been read by my sons who are now grown. No markings of any kind in the book. The inside is as new. This is evidently a very rare book. I have only seen one listed anywhere and it is in Great Britain. Seller Inventory # 89
