Sobre este artículo
London: The Evening News, c1925. First edition. Paperback. Fine. 8" by 6.5". Ernest H Shepard. An extremely scarce, truly unique work. Signed by A.A Milne and Ernest H Shepard, this work comprises mounted press-cuttings from the Evening News of 'The Rescue of Piglet'. This story of Piglet and the flood was subsequently published in Milne's first story collection featuring his beloved anthropomorphic characters; 'Winnie The Pooh'. It was chapter nine of 'Winnie The Pooh'. Undated, but it is believed this publication pre-dates the first printing of Milne's anthology. Illustrated throughout, with the noted pen-and-ink drawings of Ernest H Shepard. Shepard was a popular twentieth century illustrator whose recognisable pen and ink drawings were featured in all of Milne's works.Signed by A.A Milne and E.H Shepard to the title page. To the recto of front endpaper is written 'A Rescue of a Rescue' and the provenance note of this work, 'From the library of P.T.R. Gillette. Sold at Sothebys Feb 10th 1959'. Below this is written 'Not in the C.R Story Book'. This work is titled 'The Rescue of Piglet, A New Story for Children by A.A. Milne'.A fantastic, unique hand-compiled work. In paper wraps. Externally, excellent with minor shelfwear. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright. Occasional offsetting from the clippings to the blank verso. Otherwise, pages are clean. Fine
