Publisher: Brockhampton Press, Leicester;
Date of Publication: 1961
Stock Code: 14437
First edition, octavo, pp., 88. Black and orange duo-tone frontispiece, and monochrome and duo-tone illustrations within text by Gordon Burrell. In the publisher’s red cloth boards, blind embossed with a geometric stars and Scottish terriers pattern. Black titles to spine, duo-tone illustrated end-papers. In a full colour illustrated unclipped dust-jacket. A neat, clean copy, with no ownership inscriptions or other notes. A hint of creasing, wear and a little loss to dust-jacket spine tips and corners. Mr Grimpwinkle indeed wants to buy a bus, the Jiggle Woggle Bus he promised to buy when it is retired from service, but how will Mr Grimpwinkle raise the money required to purchase it? Luckily his best friend Prunella is a clever cat, with a plan and a group of forest friends to help. £85.00
