About This Item
London: Methuen, 1993. First Edition. Hard Cover. (London: Methuen Children's Books 1993). First UK Edition. A children's annual (not issued with a dustwrapper). A faint bruise (I hesitate to call it a bump) to the top right-hand corner of the front board otherwise a bright and clean near fine copy with absolutely NO FADING OR RUBBING to the boards. Inside the text is clean and there are no inscriptions inside. Being hyper-critical there are several short, closed tears to the bottom edge of a few pages (likely caused by a child not being vigilant when reading this copy). These short tears have been neatly and skilfully repaired by Filmoplast acid-free repair tape. This is the first edition of Julia Donaldson's very first book and quite scarce. NB: Donaldson's first book and not to be confused with the later reissue in dustwrapper by Macmillan. Superb illustrations by Axel Scheffler. This copy looks much nicer than it sounds. Photographs/scans available upon request.
