The illustrated dustwrapper has trivial rubbing on the front edge of the fold over crease. The original plastic slipcase is slightly chipped at the lower entrance. In a similar way to the Lionel Lindsay books of illustrations, prints from this book have turned up at public auction framed, and so the book has become scarcer with time. Size: 4to 9¾" - 12" tall.
