Also signed by him on the title page, and with two of his original ink and wash drawings tipped in opposite their illustrations in the book. Fine condition in lightly worn dust jacket bearing a humorous photo of young "Bill.". 32 cm. 64 pp. Color plates. Gilkerson's first book, published when he was 26 years of age.
