Item description from seller

173 pages. Limited edition, copy 289 of 750 of the British issue, signed by Pogany on the limitation page, and again in pencil on his frontispiece etching which replicates the color copy of the same image. Twelve tipped-in color plates, numerous black and white head and tail pieces, many of the latter designs also tipped-in. Pogany credits Harrap with giving him his "first big chance." His second book for Harrap, an earlier version of the same title printed in 1909 established his reputation as a book illustrator. Raised bands, gilt spine lettering bright and clean. The American issue by Thomas Y. Crowell was issued in a smaller octavo size. Owner inscription free front endpaper. Spine evenly faded to brown. Publisher's full teal morocco, red and gilt floral raised emblem on front cover. Teg. Very good.
