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; 12mo; 27 full-page colour illustrations after the author printed by Edmund Evans, pages 4-5 with old repair to gutter, new endpapers; publisher's pale green cloth lettered and blocked in darker green, slight lean and bumping, very minor marking, overall a very attractive copy, presented in modern cloth-backed solander box.
