Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Gift quality and highly recommended, this glossy softcover with sharp tips and spine ends has a faint vertical cover crease which is all that keeps us from listing this book as new. No names, tears or soil in the glossy 100 pp text. A terrific biographical chronology of one of our favorite illustrators. Gifted and spontaneous, Norman Thelwell has been entertaining the masses since 1938, when at age fifteen, he sold his first drawing of fifteen chickens. This book is essential for any Thelwell lover. It includes his 'serious' landscapes as well which are absolutely stunning along with examples from all of his beloved books including all of his "Thelwell Ponies". Interestingly, the inside cover and front end paper are combined to showcase a full color spread of Becher's Brook, the largest hedge jump in the Grand National, and today happens to be April 6th, Grand National Day at Aintree, UK. Imagine that!.

Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A very good copy of the presumed first softcover edition (no explicit edition or printing statement). The text is wholly unmarked, pristine, and the binding bright and fresh in appearance, with no creasing to the spine, though there is a slant to the spine. A portion of the signatures have come unglued, but there are no loose pages. A sharp copy. [Please note: Due to the size and weight of the volume extra shipping may be required depending on the destination and speed of delivery requested. Quotations gladly provided.].
