    Description

    Charmingly illustrated in black and white, with color frontis piece signed by Catherine Andersen. Front board illustration is in a similar hand, unsigned. Book is "anonymous" but stories are attributed at the end of each page. Pictorial end pages, with front free end paper receiving a book plate gifting the book for "first place Equal" in the Senior Infants division of ForFar West School in Farfordshire (now Angus) a county in Scotland. Farfordshire was re-organinized into Angus in 1928, the book is gift dated 1927 (?). Presumed to be a first printing, sine datum: later printings date to just before the war struck the British Isles.
    The book is scare to rare in any condition and printing, three being found in commerce worldwide. None in the US. This book came in the same auction lot as a number of other child-related pieces of ephemera. Large type. The drawings have not be colored in, as is often the case with these types of older children's pieces. Truly a nice copy.
