London, Methuen & Co., 1926
'How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard?' A lovely copy of this perennial children's classic, decidedly uncommon in such condition.
First edition; 8vo; illustrations and map endpapers by Ernest Shepard, a very few, minor, peripheral marks, the only two of note at base of p. 131 but even these are light and small, otherwise near fine; publisher's pictorial cloth gilt, top edge gilt, light bumping to spine tips and upper right-hand corner, illustrated dust-jacket, spine slightly faded, light soiling, minor chipping to head of spine and corners, otherwise, again, near fine.
