Hardcover. Later printing. Octavo. Blue, cloth-covered boards with three gilt figures to front board: Mole, Rat and Toad. Gilt lettering to spine. Just a bit of shelfwear and rubbing to extremities. First U.S. edition with the Ernest H. Shepard illustrations, and as the front flap of the dustjacket informs us: "E.H. Shepard's pictures introduce Mole and his best friend Rat and crotchety old Mr. Badger, the three who rescue the rich and foolish Toad from all the dangerous and exciting misadventures which overcome him." Wonderful map endpapers. Dustjacket in red and black against a yellow (now age-tanned backdrop) shows small chips to bottom edge and one sizeable chip (Missing are the "T" and the "h" (in THE) from spine title) from top of dustjacket spine. Considerable browning to spine. Original price of $1.00 fully intact to front flap of dustjacket.

Very Good in a Good Only Dustjacket.…

It was already a highly successful work when Shepard, now famous for his work on A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh books, was commissioned to provide new illustrations. He took to the Thames with a sketchbook to capture the animals and settings of the book from life, and the illustrations that he provided have become, for many, the definitive images of Grahame's characters.…
