Description:
Illustrated by the author throughout with b&w full page and text illustrations. (4to) publisher's red cloth, spine and cover lettered in black, illustrated endpapers, illustrated dust jacket. First British Edition.
Scarce first British edition. A considerably slimmer volume than the US edition due to the type having been reset and the omission of some illustrations. Just as Edgar Allan Poe's "The Gold-Bug" was known as "The Gold-Beetle" in Victorian England, Chapter 14 has been retitled "Tea and Thunderbeetles" from "Tea and Thunderbugs" in order to accommodate British usage that does not recognize "bug" as a synonym for "insect."
Condition
Jacket price clipped with some wear and soiling, some small chips to edges, dampstaining to bottom of jacket spine and rear panel; Light wear and soiling to cloth, volume bowing a bit; rear hinge starting, 1946 gift inscription on title page; about very good.
