About this Item
First Edition (first printing). 4to. [28pp]. Yelolow cloth lettered in gold at the spine and with a small gilt-stamped decoration to the upper board. A hint of toning to the leaf margins, else a fine copy in dust wrapper, clipped and re-priced by the publisher, lifting a fraction at the edges and with a single tiny tear. The story of Archibald Ormsby-Gore, a strict Baptist teddy bear from Uffington with a curious obsession with Aneucapnic lamps, penned by Betjeman for his family and originally accompanied by his own rough sketches, which are here delightfully reinterpreted by Phillida Gili (Reynolds Stone's daughter).
