First edition. Beige cloth, blocked in green and orange, binding variant not described by Hall. A very good copy in dust jacket, spine chipped at the ends, and lacking a half-inch piece in the middle, and with other wear. Accompanied by an autograph postcard, signed, from Garth Williams, reading "An autographed copy of 'Stuart Little' will arrive under separate cover -- hope you like it. You might be interested to see 'The Door Opens' (Doubleday Doran) and 'Tuxedo Tails' (this is title, or Tux Tales or something by Vanguard Press) and 'I married them' (Howell Soskin) all illustrated by me in slightly different style to suit text. Sincerely, Garth Williams".

Stuart Little is a children's novel written by E.B. White, first published in 1945 by Harper & Brothers. The story follows a small, anthropomorphic mouse born to a human family, and chronicles his adventures in New York City. The character of Stuart Little was based on a dream White had. The novel's realistic New York City setting and anthropomorphized characters make it a distinctive example of American children's literature. Garth Williams provided the book's original illustrations, which contributed to its charm and success.
