Sobre este artículo
New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company, 1920. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. First edition. Octavo. Illustrated throughout by Lofting, along with a color frontispiece. Orange boards with title and decorations in blue with tipped-on color illustration on the front board. About fine with hint of wear at the spine ends and small wrinkle on the cloth in a good or better dust jacket expertly repaired at the folds, light toning, and some small tears, perimeter nicks and chips on the spine. Inscribed by the author: "for Betty Lou Burns with the Author's warm regards, Hugh Lofting." Additionally, Lofting has drawn a small self-portrait at the bottom of the page that he's captioned: "Myself at the age of 20." A wonderful inscribed copy of the first book of the hugely popular children's book series with its rare dust jacket and an original illustration by the author.
