Original wrappers, cover with hand-coloured illustrated design by Ravilious, his initials in manuscript at the head as usually encountered.

A very early publication with illustrations by Bawden and Ravilious displaying their talents at the age of 22 years ! A very scarce publication which very rarely turns up on the open market.
