Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. The Maltese Cat is undoubtedly the greatest and most enjoyable story ever written about the game of polo. In truth its one of the greatest stories ever written from a horse or pony's point of view. The story, although written some ninety years ago, has been avidly collected since it was first published, not only by everyone associated with polo, whether player, official, groom or spectator, but by all lovers of horses and ponies. It appeals to people of all ages and its the classic book of its type. Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was, in his lifetime, acknowledged as a magnificent story teller and poet and is now firmly established as one of Britain's greatest writers. Lionel Edwards, whose superb colour plates and pen and ink drawings embellish this book, is the perfect collaborator and illustrator. This lovely dark blue cloth hardback is in really good condition. Normal wear and marks apply consistent with use and age. Comes with dust jacket. First published in this edition in 1989, first edition. Jacket design by Peter Hedges, Book from a design by Rupert Collens and Peter Fitzmaurice, Typesetting by TJB Photosetting Ltd. 63 pages all intact, all pages, text and gorgeous illustrations are in really good, clean, readable order.
