About this Item

The Macmillan Company. New York. 1959. 71 pages. First edition stated, first printing. Original DJ with $2.50 price intact on DJ flap.

This title was first available in a different format in 1920; without the E.B. White contributions. This book is tight. Binding and hinges are sound. A 1959 dated gift inscription on FFEP. Endpapers show faint toning. Minor shelf-rubbing along panel edges. Original DJ with $2.50 price intact on flap. DJ shows rubbing along edges, tiny chipping and a couple of small closed edge tears.
