Hardcover. Fair hardcover with two inches missing from the spine at the heel and one inch from the crown, rubbing to the other extremities, a light crease to the covers, and light soiling; the hinges are tender, the forms lightly shaken, and there is light tanning to the page edges but the interior is otherwise clean with only light signs of handling. BOOKS SHIP THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, WRAPPED IN PADDING, IN A BOX. An unauthorized edition of Chloe Preston's third book, in which the Kewpie doll-like Peek-a-Boos visit the rabbits at their home. There are no credits in the book (and thus presumably unauthorized) but it was written by Preston's aunt Zoe Hoyle, identified in the original as "Z.H.," and illustrated by Preston in collaboration with George Howard-Vyse. Preston drew the Peek-A-Boo characters and backgrounds while Howard-Vyse rendered all the rabbit figures. Preston (1887-1969) was the illustrator and writer of many British children's books, most published between 1910 and 1934, when she received a substantial inheritance and more or less removed herself from public view.
