Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No DJ- In Mylar Cover. 1st Edition. DJ in Mylar but dulled from age, some very minor foxing title page, but end plates clean Aberconway and Whistler were friends and when the author first wrote the book, the illustrator finished sketches along with him but the author did no…t decide to publish until "after the war (WWII". Sadly, Whistler had only completed converting three of the sketches to color plates for the story. Those three along with his original sketches illustrate the story beautifully. A real find and a great children's book. Unpaginated but has approximately 20 pages. Rex Whistler (illustrator).

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Rex Whistler was a regular visitor to the young authors home where he challenged her to invent a story which he would illustrate with quick pencil sketches as she unfolded it verbatim. A year later in the early period of WW2 he suggested that he would like to make larger coloured drawings from th…e sketches so the story could be published after the war. He only finished three dying in action in 1944. Rex Whistler (illustrator).
