first edition in unrestored dust jacket. "This is perhaps one of the finest twentieth-century examples of the inspired wedding of a text and illustrations to make a children's book that as a whole is even greater than the sum of its parts. The overworked word 'classic' is well deserved here" (Morgan/Gottlieb 222). With publisher's advance promotional slip laid-in.
