Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. First Edition, second state - with the printed dedication 'For Sebastian'. 4to. 28pp. Illustrated paper-covered boards reproducing two of the colour illustrations. Fourteen nursery thymes, each one accompanied by a full-page illustration, ten of which are hand-coloured. Tips of corners rubbed with a tiny indentation to top edge of boards and some careful repair to the head of the upper gutter. A lengthy but certainly not too disastrous vertical crease to the fore edge of all but two of three leaves. Binding just a little tender in several places and with some occasional staining to lower edge of thirteen leaves. Quite a bright copy in non-price-clipped dust wrapper reproducing the board illustrations, the wrapper tanned, and a little stained, spotted and chipped at spine ends with two or three tiny areas of loss and several short tears with some internal taped repair. "[Ride a Cock-Horse] was quite easily the most beautifully produced of the books that Mervyn illustrated. The war had started, but the paper shortage and the many restrictions connected with publishing hadn't yet begun to make their indelible mark on war-time books" - Maeve Gilmore, 'A World Away'.
