New York: Harper and Brothers, 1947. Hardcover. Very Good. First edition (the only established issue points are on the jacket, but this otherwise conforms to other copies of the first edition which we have examined). Illustrated by Clement Hurd. Oblong octavo. Quarter green cloth and flat illustrated paper over boards. Rubbing, particularly at the bottom edges, very good, and internally fine, lacking the rare dustwrapper. A nice copy of a children's classic.
