First Edition. Gardner's scarce first book, written as a textbook for English students while Gardner taught at Chico State College, with an anthology of sketches, fables, short stories and novellas. Near fine, with tiny scrape to front panel, without dustjacket, possibly as issued. Later printings came with printed dustjackets but controversy remains as to whether the first printing was issued in a glassine dustjacket, a printed dustjacket, or none at all.
