First edition. Original brown cloth with gilt titles to the upper board, in dustwrapper. Illustrated throughout with autolithographs in colour and black and white by Suzanne Einzig. A very good copy, the binding firm, the cloth a little rubbing at the extremities, the gilt with very slight fading. The contents, with a couple of spots early pages, are otherwise clean and without stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the lightly rubbed and nicked, price-clipped dustwrapper which is lightly toned to the spine and slightly spotted on the rear panel, with a short closed tear to the bottom edge of the front flap fold and another to te head of the spine, the latter of which has been repaired to the underside with a small piece of tape. The first book to be illustrated by Suzanne Einzig, who went on to illustrate Phillippa Pearce's acclaimed 'Tom's Midnight Garden' which won the Carnegie medal in 1959, as well many other books and magazines. An amusing, rhyming tale about a little girl who wants to play in the sand despite wearing smart shoes and being watched by her ten strict aunts.
