First edition. Hardcover. Small quarto. Bottom board corners slightly bumped, otherwise fine in very good dustjacket (sterling price intact) with some light surface soiling and a few tiny professionally closed tears. A rather macabre, but comic adventure conceived by Miss Aberconway as a young girl, at the behest of Whistler, a family friend and one of the most gifted artists in Britain between the wars. He quickly contributed many b/w drawings and three colour plates to illustrated the story, promising to finish and get it published after the war. Sadly he died aged 39 in 1944. This copy is an uncommon review copy, with a small stamp from The Sydney Morning Herald on the top corner of the front free endpaper, but more importantly containing the extra Whistler drawing provided by the publisher for the use of reviewers, folded in on an A3 sheet.
