About this Item

Lovely children's picture book about a gentle dragon, who loves children, who lives above Sam Ling Toy's laundry shop on a hill in an unnamed Chinatown. Unpaginated, illustrated throughout by the author. A First Edition, First Printing from 1956, with appropriate dates & statement, SIGNED by the AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATOR with a personalized inscription on half title page. Hardcover book has bright yellow paper over boards with colorful decoration, which is matched on the accompanying DJ. Book is in VG condition: very clean, with the occasional random smudge. Binding straight & strong, pages white & unmarked, colors bright. The slightly clipped DJ (with orig. $2.25 price intact on front flap) is downgraded to only Fair due to its missing large chunks from spine, lower back cover, smaller chips & heavy rubbing all around, light soil; looks as nice as can be in brand new clear mylar cover. Our photos depict the exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same day shipping on all orders received by 2 pm weekdays (Pacific time); later orders, weekends & holidays ship very next business day. Seller Inventory # 017306
