About This Item
Methuen & Co. Ltd. London. 1925. EARLY PRINTING. Eleventh edition. 8vo. The same format as the 1924 First edition, with the addition of decorative endpapers. This is a fine copy of Milne's first children's book in the publishers blue cloth with gilt lettering and illustrations. Illustrated endpapers. Top edge gilt. The book looks unread. In a very good original illustrated dustwrapper which has some chipping to top and tail of spine, which is also a little toned. Overall a highly desirable copy of Milne's children's classic.
