First Edition. Large landscape quarto (approx 24 x 30cm) pp., 22. Original stapled pictorial card wraps in colour. Illustrated throughout in monochrome, with some images sepia or red-toned, and four full-page. Covers lightly surface soiled with minor wear to spine and corners. Transparent archival tape repair to upper hinge, 768 inscribed to title-page in ink in a small net hand, otherwise contents clean. A very good copy.
Charming story in first person narrative supposedly by Gnawbone the pug puppy. Being in large format paper wraps and quite fragile the book is understandably rare. We locate three copies only world-wide (BL; Cambridge; Liverpool).
