Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This collection of eleven evocative, accessible and funny stories for children of 5+ tells how a particular animal came to be as it is now. The Whale grew up in God's vegetable patch but was banished to sea when he became too large and crushed all His carrots; the Polar Bear was lured to the North Pole by the other animals who were jealous that she always won the annual beauty contest; the Hare has asked the moon to marry him but can never stretch his ears high enough to hear her reply; the Bee must sip honey all day long to sweeten the bitter demon that runs through his veins . . . each story is a delight for reading alone or aloud. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. This First Edition and first printing hardback was published by Faber and Faber in 1963. The condition of the book is closer to 'Fine' than 'Near Fine'. The only disclosure point is an unused and attractive Ex-Libris label stuck to the front paste down. There is a small tear on the back top cover but considering this is a children's book from over 50 years ago, its condition is close to 'Near Fine'. The book is bound with Charcoal -grey coloured cloth on stiff boards. The spine titles are in gilt. The endpapers are cream-coloured. The main text of the book has 72 numbered pages. The line drawings that provide the illustrations are by George Worsley Adamson. The size of the book in inches is 8.4 x 6.2 and it weighs 0.20 kg. As with all our sales of books within the UK, we only ever charge a flat standard delivery cost of £3.35.
Cloth. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. George Adamson (illustrator). A gorgeous copy of the 1963 1st edition of this early Ted Hughes children's book. Clean and Fine in a crisp, price-intact, Near Fine dustjacket, with just a touch of light soiling along the rear panel. Octavo, nicely illustrated thruout by George Adamson.
