[0-7705-1566-5] 1977. (hardcover) Very good, no dust jacket. 64pp. 8vo. Garbage Delight is Lee's third collection of poetry for children and has been a staple on bookshelves evr since it was first published in 1977. Very good copy, filled with wild and woolly playfulness and a keen perception of the inner world of a child. While the cover shows light (and small) markings, remains remarkably clean and bright and has been well maintained. A lovely copy of a childhood favourite. Seller Inventory # 131232
