First Edition
First UK edition. 8vo. Yellow cloth with lettering and vignettes in black, in the rare original printed dustwrapper. A near fine copy, stain to fore-edge, in a very good dustwrapper, light wear to the head of the spine and a short closed tear to the base. A very attractive example of a rarity. Illustrated by De La Mare with simple, but striking line drawings, some printed onto a yellow background. The first Emil book, a fabulous adventure story for children, which is most uncommon.
