About this Item

Charming first edition of this near-miniature tale of a strange opposite land, "where black is white and day is night." Naughty young boy Tommy learns the consequences of disobeying his nurse when his rowdiness sends him to a land of opposites. In TOPSY-TURVY LAND, animals walk and talk like people and toys come to life (content warning: these toys include Golliwogg dolls). Tommy is hunted by a rabbit, hooked by a fish, and shut in a hutch before landing home via balloon voyage. 4.5'' x 3.75''. Original color pictorial boards. Illustrated in color and black and white throughout. [50] pages. Partially erased owner's name to front pastedown. Mild edgewear to boards, with uniform light soiling; small chip to lower spine. Pages clean, with vibrant illustrations.
