Helen Bannerman originally wrote this story during a long railway journey in India, to send to her two small daughters that she had just left to be educated in her native Scotland. It was eventually published as the fourth title in the 'Dumpy Books' series. Despite controversy it has gone through countless printings and translations, as well as many sequels, imitations, and parodies.
First edition; 12m; half-title with advertisement for the Dumpy Books series on verso, 27 full-page colour illustrations after the author printed by Edmund Evans, usual minor finger-marking and occasional light soiling to leaves, overall internally very good; publisher's pale green cloth lettered and blocked in darker green, a little light rubbing and marking but an attractive copy, scarce to find in such condition.
