Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: See Description. E. H. Shepard (illustrator). Reprint. 274pp. HARDCOVER. Sgn. & date to ffep. This particular volume is truly unique. There will not be another one like it. Back in time, a former owner has created their own dustwrapper from cloth and has paistakingly embroidered the title and an illustration. I am unaware if this reflects the design of the original dustwrapper, but suspect that it probably does. There are some marks to the embroidered cloth, but this dustwrapper is something I have never seen before for any title. Size: 8vo - over 73/4" - 93/4" tall. Book.
